Full commemoration: • Battle of Vimy Ridge 1...
"Just days after wrapping up her 24-date A Trio Performance tour across the E.U. and U.K., Loreena will join other performers and dignitaries at the commemorative ceremony to be held at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France. The event marks the 100th anniversary of the historic Battle of Vimy Ridge and will include numerous heads of state, members of the royal family, military officials and tens of thousands of civilians.
“It is an incredible honour to be a part of this important ceremony,” says Loreena, who is also the Honorary Colonel of the Royal Canadian Air Force and an active supporter of the broader Canadian forces community and their families. “I expect we will all be extremely moved by the resonance of what that battle meant to Canada and the scale of human loss involved.”
Loreena will perform one song during the ceremony, “Dante’s Prayer,” from The Book of Secrets, her sixth studio album and a worldwide chart success. She will be accompanied by fellow musicians Brian Hughes on guitar, Hugh Marsh on violin and Caroline Lavelle on cello.
The First World War victory at Vimy Ridge was a defining moment for Canada and it was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces fought together. But the history-making battle came at great cost. More than 10,000 troops were killed and wounded. The Canadian National Vimy Memorial honours all Canadians who died in the war. It sits on the highest point of Vimy Ridge, was designed by Canadian Walter Seymour Allward, and it took 11 years to build.
As many of you may already know, Loreena was appointed in 2013 to the rank of Knight of the National Order of Arts and Letters by the Republic of France." - เพลง
I was drafted in June 1972. in the summer of 1973 I was in physical therapy for a knee injury. there were two POWs from Nam there. we were not allowed to talk to them. they were ghosts, a shell of their former selves and I thought they would never again regain a normal life. to all the men and women who sacrificed their lives, their livelihood, thank you, for giving us the privilege of living in America. you will NEVER be forgotten. Gerry Owen!
Probably the only song that makes me cry each time I listen to it.
JPin amen brother or sestra
This place made me cry when I visited...and this song makes me cry too. Had I been here this day, I would have been inconsolable.
I recommend every Canadian visit Vimy. It will stay with you forever.
Exactly the same for me ♥
Same here.
Minha alma suspira ouvindo essa música.
First listened to Loreena way back in 91 & have never stopped being a fan. Her music refreshes & impacts the soul.
It's been ten years since I lost a special loved one. I play this song almost weekly and sometimes several times in a day. She will not be forgotten. I'm crying.
Till the sorrow of stone...same here :)
I was at the ceremony...beautiful, no clouds...surrounded by 25,000 of my close personal friends. An already emotional day was put into a warm embrace from Loreena and her amazing band. As they played, I looked all around, but focusing on the Ridge. The sound was perfect there...in a crowd of 25,000, all were entranced. It was magical.
wish i was there looked amazing day with heartfelt music from Loreena .
❤️
I was there too and as a frenchman, I was so pleased that our canadian friends, coming from so far, could enjoy that incredible sunny day, just as if it was summer. The ceremony was splendid and moving.
Ouch. Hate to obfuscate, with Loreena! BUT 25,000 close personal friends??? I smell BullChit. Sorry, Carl.
My cousin Hugh on Violine. They say that words combined in song can move a population or a mountain. A mountain moved on this day.
I almost cry every time I listen to this beautiful song...
I don't want to sound morbid but I want this song played at my funeral - 'please remember me'
I have that stipulated in the instructions for my funeral. As I live in Spain and will die here, I want her Spanish rendition played as all my friends here are Spanish. OK, I know it is not the literal translation but it is just as haunting.
"Me recorderás"
Me too
Eu também !
LOREENA is more than an Illustrious Character of the Music.
LOREENA is a creative being of the best and highest Feeling of the Human Soul.
LOREENA is an absolutely sublime being in your vision of feelings.
LOREENA is the best music, voice, words, MAGIC interpretation, etc.etc.
WHO HEARS LOREENA, GIVE FOR LOST ALL THE TIME BACK AND TRAVELS TO ANOTHER WORLD. A UNIQUE WORLD.
THE WORLD OF THIS GODDESS.
Oh... GODDESS LOREENA... GIVE ME YOUR HEART... !
Like a journey onto Heaven this song moves me like none other and reminds
Of my fiance who passed in her sleep on December 8th 2009 In memory of C.A.B
May you dwell in my heart forever until we are reunited in heaven. I will always remember you Carol Anne, all my love to you forever & ever, your loving companion
Jack. 💔😢
Hier soir j'ai vu Loreena et ses talentueux musiciens live en concert à Genève. Sa musique et sa voix captivantes ont emmené son public dans une autre dimension, les touchant au plus profond de leur âme. Il est difficile de retenir ses larmes, tant les émotions vous envahissent. J'avais choisi que DANTE'S PRAYER accompagne ma chère mère lors de son départ. Loreena l'a chanté hier soir lors d'un bis. Je n'ai pas pu retenir mes larmes. Merci Loreen d'exister et de d'inspirer les plus beaux sentiments de l'humanité.
Merci pour votre témoignage 🙏🏻
Pour ma part j'ai carrément été submergée d'émotions durant le concert à Genève...
Difficile de retenir les larmes, je crois que j'ai pleuré durant 2h 😏
merci pour ces belles paroles , j'ai eu le grand plaisir de la voir dimanche soir à Paris , depuis 2007 je n'ai loupé aucun de ses passages à Paris , ça faisait depuis avril 2019 qu'elle n'etait pas venue je pensais meme qu'elle reviendrait et en fin d'année dernière la bonne nouvelle est arrivée , ,et bon ... que dire du concert une pure merveille .. sa voix est un miracle , il y a à la fois une force et une fragilité ...
J'étais aussi dimanche soir à Paris... Je l'avais un peu perdue de vue, à vrai dire. J'écoute très régulièrement ses albums, mais je ne regardais pas spécialement ses tournées. J'ai eu la chance d'avoir un billet offert par ma fille.... Je craignais un peu le poids des années, et, disons-le, je pensais qu'elle ne serait plus à la hauteur de l'époque des enregistrements que je préfère (en l'occurence "The Book Of Secrets"...)
Et là j'ai pris une claque monumentale... Elle a toujours la même voix, joue toujours aussi bien, et le concert est incroyable. En plus, à Pleyel, c'est une autre dimension. J'en suis encore bien secoué, je replonge dans son univers avec délice (30 ans que j'ai découvert les premiers morceaux). En plus, son engagement et ses pensées partagées me touchent. Cette femme est une merveille, ses musiciens aussi, quelle chance d'avoir pu la voir en "live"...@@nufnuf13
This is a most beautiful song that makes us all remember .
I was here for this performance and wow it is something I will Never forget.. very peaceful but very sad
Unforgettable indeed.
So beautiful, so heart wrenching. Her passion and creativity in her expression of Celtic music is supurb. Was one of the first songs of hers I heard. Will never ever get tired of it.
bow down to Queens Loreena and Caroline, thank you for making this world more beautiful ladies.
Two of the greatest artists of our time!
2021 Remembrance Day, still bring tears to my eyes. Such an amazing Canadian reminding us to remember those who have died for our freedom today!
My closest friend's wife (they are true soul-mates) has chosen this song by Loreena Mckennitt to be played at her funeral, in the event that she passes before her husband. An excellent choice!
If anything they should have been showing all the young Canadians standing and sitting out there. All of them there for remembering the young men who died taking the Ridge, instead of that awkward dance. I was there at the back, balling my eyes out like a baby when she sang this, sun coming through the memorial perfectly. It was so beautiful.
I was there too and I agree with you. As a frenchman, I was so pleased the 25,000 canadians who came from so far and with so much devotion could attend such a beautiful ceremony with an exceptional weather for the season.
"Please remember me." Perfect. A beautiful performance.
I just saw her live for the Eclipse date 8 April 2024 in London in the palladium magical as always...and Caroline is ethereal on Cello.... a beautiful gifted group of musicians xxxx
I was there too, Andrea. Caroline’s playing and the way Loreena sang so softly really moved me.
@@tobiahstar How wonderful your a wonderfully gifted yourself ... i just heard your music ...Many Blessings xxxxx
À Vimy ce jour là, parmi le public....

Beautiful singing, beautiful music and beautiful dancing. A wonderful and respectful way to remember and honor those who fight for their country and for those who can't.
Cast your eyes on the ocean.
Cast your soul to the sea.
When the dark night seems endless.
Please, remember me....

Estupenda cantautora y hermosa canción.
King Charles is in the audience.. with Camilla..
before his Mum died.. Queen Elizebeth..
Well done Charles.. Love the song and video
I till the sorrows of stone>>> 🤩
One of the things I'll regret the most when I'll be on my deathbed, is that I never got to see Loreena in concert in her prime, or even just met her to tell her what a genius she is.
Stef Ferrari i got to see her last October. Worth the effort if you do get the chance
Definitely, I saw her in March in Paris and it was mindblowing
Stef Ferrari very much worth it. Discovered her in 95 or 96 then got to see her twice in Germany in 2014 I think.
she is awesome , I played music for about 30 years but her music floored me I was thinking I am here with her singing yea its heaven .
Send her a letter - BY MAIL - she'll love it.
Voz dela deixa a música ainda mais bonita❤
Amo, minha preferida 😍
...beautiful melody....
Also I absolutely cannot wait to see her next month in Lyon.
Dislikes are people who obviously pressed the wrong button
amazing song!!!
No comment ! Just listen !
Wonderful !
Isso sim é alta cultura 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Whomever put those 'dancers' in there owes the world an apology.

Musica boa p relaxar. bem p alma.
CHAPEAU ! ! !
Lindissimo...
Bela musica
.
Que bela harmonia
C’est une de mes chanteuses préférées depuis tellement ,tellement longtemps,elle a une voix différente de toutes les chanteuses sur la planète Denise Babin Bonaventure Gaspésie 💕💕🎵🎵🎶🎶 et pour son choix de chants .
I personally believe that the two "dancers" didn't do anything that enhanced the song. I guess that Loreena approved it, so what can you say?
If you ever get over there, please visit the cemetery, where you will see that the average age of those killed was probably about 22. The dancers perfectly exhibit the horrible loss incurred during the battle. Both my grandfathers fought at Vimy, and they were 21 and 22. It was a great victory, but the losses were terrible.
ainda bem que descobri essa talentosa artista em tempo.
She is a wonderful performer but unfortunately she never comes to florida
👍✳️👍✳️👍
*Omg*
Do we really need the interpretive dance?
Kkkk ficou engraçado esse casal
A la del contrabajo melafo.
Trini Lopez sent me here??
Dante Alighieri
The dance was unnecessary.
Very disappointing the comments made about the dancers. The dance adds and does not take away from the song. Both my grandfathers fought at Vimy and they were in their early 20's. The dance is very fitting when you consider the 3600 young lives lost during the battle, and the other 60,000 Canadian lives lost during the war. If you ever get there, be sure to visit the cemetery, and you will think twice about this dance.
And for you fellow Canadians, here is the final paragraph from Tim Cook's book titled Vimy - To stand on Vimy Ridge in the shadow of the memorial is to recognize that few other places in the world can make Canadians feel so proud. One also feels the weight of history and the presence of the dead. There is a palpable confluence of what we would like to forget and what we must remember. The ghosts walk this soil, as they did in Allward’s dream, through the claustrophobic tunnels, treading carefully across the cratered battlegrounds, and with the faint touch of fingers on engraved names of the fallen. Vimy is also a place of enormous beauty. The pylons soar to the blue beyond, and the sculptures are intricate in their lines and evocative in their meanings. The creamy white and warm stone provokes strong emotion. The historical inscriptions are minimal, but the names of the missing 11,285 are monumental. Those searing marks in honour of the fallen are thousands of small scars on the stone, a reminder of the terrible loss and grief of the Great War. Tears come easily while standing on the memorial. These are not tears of uncontrollable grief but tears of something else, something more profound. They are the tears invoked by the memory of a grandfather, by a few lines from McCrae’s “In Flanders Fields”, and even by a surprising flash of patriotism. There is a power in the Vimy legend - the ridge, the memorial, the meaning - that is not easily put into words. The memorial is for the dead, but it is remade generation after generation by the living. Canada was indeed forever changed by the Great War, but Vimy did not make the nation. It was the nation that made Vimy.
Jim Hoover Nah. It was pretty gay.
John - Promise me something. You will visit Vimy one day.
Omg! Who made the decision to kill the moments of respect with those scruffy morons cavorting like jesters in the foreground? Disrespectful in the extreme. LMk and her support were grace and beauty. As always.
Meredith - The dancers perfectly depict the young age of the 3,600 Canadians killed in that 4 day battle. My own grandfathers were 21 and 22 and both were in the battle. No disrespect at all, just a very good reminder of the horrible cost of war.
@@jimhoover9819 thank you for putting perspective on this. It makes sense now :)
Thank you for saying that, and their weird dancing does nothing to respect or enhance the beautiful song either.
Great song and performance!1 problem: what heck are those two doing in front of the stage??That dance (if we can call it that) is not only unnecessary but distracts and takes away from the beauty of the songAnd somebody give the male dancer some coffee, this dude looks he just rolled out of bed XD
Teddy Junior I agree wholeheartedly. How about putting a Color Guard up there to honor their fallen!
Exactly, a Color Guard would have been a nice touch
When you realize that the average age of the 3,600 who died at Vimy during the battle were probably in their early 20's, I think that the pair who are dancing adds a very special and appropriate compliment to this beautiful song.
Trini Lopez sent them..
You mean the dancers? Who is Trini Lopez?
Don’t need the dancer. It distracts from the beauty of the song. Why is it when there’s already perfection someone decides that more is better. It’s not.
WTF this dance?
Eduardo - Please scroll down to my reply to Meredith O on this subject. Jim
