"'The Mummers' Dance'" is a song written and performed by Canadian Celtic fusion singer Loreena McKennitt, released as a single from her sixth studio album, 'The Book of Secrets' (1997), in November 1997. The song refers to the seasonal mummers' play performed by groups of actors, often as house-to-house visits. Its lyrics indicate a springtime holiday.
As remixed by electronic music production duo DNA, "The Mummers' Dance" reached number 10 in Canada and 18 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, No. 3 on the Adult Top 40 chart, and No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart. It was used as the theme for the TV series 'Legacy.' It was also used in the trailer for the film 'Ever After,' starring Drew Barrymore, and in the soundtrack of the Brazilian telenovela 'Corpo Dourado.' A music video was also produced for the selection.
