Tracks for Richard

Music possibilities for Richard's life. (These are all on YouTube, so they're accessible. I hope. Have focused on the music/lyrics, not the videos, regardless the horse and knight in the first one is pretty impressive. :)

Middleham Homecoming - http://youtu.be/dfvHu_hgVuc
("World Without End," Gregorian [band, not chant])

A Knight's Long Road to Bosworth - http://youtu.be/G1E5OP6S4-E
("Sophia." The Cruxshadows -- "Stand up when no one else is willing/ Act not in hatred or in spite\ Be to this world as a perfect knight \ Even if it means your life")

Minstrels of Which the Lady Church Would Not Approve - http://youtu.be/YvnywZdNl5Y
("De Mundi Statu" - Corvus Corax)

Tournament - http://youtu.be/rE9GeggIKoU
("Hymnus Cantica" - Corvus Corax)

Battle Preparations - http://youtu.be/jo8Tb5jhmfU
("Is Nomine Vacans" - Corvus Corax, from the Gothic 3 Soundtrack)

No Death. Only a Change of Worlds - http://youtu.be/XO7_xx5nf6c
("Sombre Day" - eRa, The Mass)

Thanks. All sound good. There're are more selections than ever!

BTW, it's not approp for Richard, but one of my Faves is Archie Fisher's Witch of the West Moreland, performed by the late Canadian folk singer, Stan Rogers. Great, lively modern ballad.

Oh, this is lovely. I found the Archie Fisher version here:

http://youtu.be/OwRnKeFOhVQ

Thank you so much for introducing me to this composer/musician. Considering the Yorkshire ghost legends and mythology, and the hawk, the hounds and the horses, if one doesn't insist on strict traditional boundaries, it might work for an evocative Richard scene. He did love minstrels and music; maybe he could pretend not to hear the witch bits? :)

My late husband performed (12-string guitar) with Stan Rogers a time or two.

For spooky and evocative, though not pertaining to Richard in any way, you might look up the deal-with-the-devil ballad "Peter Grubb."

Since Francis Lovell seems to have escaped to Scotland, there to die, I thought of "Will Ye Nae Come Back?"

Katy

Please try and find Jake Thackery a droll Yorkshire satirist that I have always enjoyed.

Oh, bless me, Jake Thackery is a BARITONE, I could listen and listen. His introductions are fun, his lyrics are sinful and layered, he's fun to watch, and there's a lot of him on YouTube. He doesn't just sing, he creates characters for his songs.

I just finished "The Castleford Ladies Magic Circle" ('unspeakable pagan rites....') and am listening to "The Kiss" and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Again.

Please keep the recommendations coming -- Ricardian or not? Can't ever have enough new music.

I just realized I inserted the wrong link for Middleham Homecoming below. The right one is:

Sorry. :(

Suggest you listen to Family tree and National Monuments "for a bit of culture and refinement"

That's wonderful. I never saw him perform, but Stan's brother toured with Fisher in the early '90s, and my friend and I saw him at a Chicago folk bar...

I suspect Richard wouldn't have regarded her as a heretic witch per se, nearly as much as a "fey lady," like the characters in the old Arthurian stories: Morgan and Vivian/Niniane/Nimue.

I hadn't thought of that. And since Richard seems to have enjoyed the old Arthurian stories, perhaps he would have enjoyed something like this:

"Lady of the Lake" by Heather Dale - http://youtu.be/WZ8A9uHThIA

Wasn't Richard's age the one where the minstrels would play during meals, and the hosts would expect their guests to perform afterward if they could? Sort of a medieval karaoke?
