Too Much Fugue For One Gringo

Three sisters run a grocery shop on the outskirts of Wirksworth, though only two have ever been seen. This is the last mix of the latest tune we did before the computer blew up.

My Mind Is Going [featuring HAL 9000]

A rewrite of a section from the Poem 'Y Gododdin' by the Bard Aneirin. Some of the names and places have been changed.

Y Gododdin (Welsh: [ə ɡɔˈdɔðɪn]) is a medieval Welsh poem consisting of a series of elegies to the men of the Brittonic kingdom of Gododdin and its allies who, according to the conventional interpretation, died fighting the Angles of Deira and Bernicia at a place named Catraeth in c. AD 600. It is traditionally ascribed to the bard Aneirin and survives only in one manuscript, the Book of Aneirin.


Branno Son of Marro

He fed black ravens on the castle walls 
He gave gold to the altar 
And a rich reward to the minstrel

I saw an array that came from Circenn 
Who brought themselves as a sacrifice to the slaughter
 I saw a second array come down from their settlement 
Roused by the grandson of Neithon
 I saw mighty men who came with the dawn 
And it was Domnall Brecc's head the ravens gnawed

Noble son of Circenn
Proud to have sprung from her line
Cattle-rich sovereign
 This is Branno by name

Fifteen score of Circenn's seed
Into a mighty war band gathered
Painted as a snow white swan
They rode to Ca'nu Tulacham

In might a man, Branno rode 
With riotous valour 
Swift long-maned steeds 
Under the thigh of Branno 

Quicker to a field of blood 
Than to a wedding
 Quicker to the ravens' feast 
Than to a burial 

A beloved friend was Branno,
It is wrong that he is beneath a cairn 
It is sad to wonder in what land
 Marro's only son was slain

Branno Son of Marro

Who Wrote the Book of Love ?

Done in 2017 very quickly, had some words and was thinking of Carlos Santana when we did it, but turned out more like Herb Alpert, which isn't a bad thing in my book! My old friend Mick Lynch played Bass and keyboards on it, he's now living in Jamaica.

Notes on Delivery

The Budding enthusiast that comes, by design or chance, to discover this collection shall, upon Preliminary Survey of its Contents, find him or herself confronted by divers  ‘Fulsome Bloomings, Abandoned Airs and Declamations’, all, indeed, allegedly composed by Messrs Drust & Erskine. 

It is, however, to be Anticipated that the fledgeling aesthete may, whilst hopefully being familiar with the general Thrust of this or that Song, find him or herself Uncertain as how best to approach the True Form of the Musical Pieces, and, moreover, how best to discern the Melody and Intonation: indeed, how to Discover, and consequently Interpret, the Leitmotif. 

Be then reassur'd that the Composers are devotees of Cantabile, and each Song in this canon has been thoroughly Mulled Over and Subjected to Rigorous and Demanding attentions. By this Means, Songs, that may, upon Inspection of the grounds upon which they were first Inspired having revealed a requirement for overly-exacting Polytonality or Interval that may Induce a certain Reticence, have subsequently been Hammer'd into a Shape that Messrs Drust and Erskine aver is Deliverable by one Mode or another. 

Accordingly, Messrs D & E press you oil your lung, fill your chest, loosen your tongue, and hold forth in as fulsome a voice as your maker may have designed for you, and relish every nuance of counterpoint, every flourish and every roundelay here afforded for your delectation.
