This is Morning Song waking your heart to an ancient Welsh legend. Take a walk through a magical forest to the legendary home of Dinas Emrys and King Arthur. As the legend goes, a red dragon sleeps beneath the ancient ruins of Dinas Emrys. It is the red dragon in the flag of Wales, the red dragon of the Castle Dinas Emrys, also claimed to be the legendary home of King Arthur and the wizard Merlin. Now a ruin, Dinas Emrys tells the legend of Wales. King Vortigern wanted to build a castle on top of Dinas Emrys, but every night his castle walls would fall. The wizard Merlin claimed there were two dragons fighting beneath the hill that caused the walls to fall. So Vortigern dug into the mountain and released the two dragons. The red and white dragons fought. Eventually the red dragon prevailed, returning to his lair. Vortigern’s castle was built and named Dinas Emrys in honor of Myrddin Emrys, Merlin the wizard. Today Morning Song invites you on a magical walk upon the trail through the oak forest of Dinas Emrys. Along your way, discover  the magic with classical, new age, folk, epic cinematic and gaming soundtracks from Antti Martikainen, Zach Bjorklund, Revolt Production Music, David Arkenstone, Demented Sound Mafia, Brand X Music, Logan Epic Canto and Michael Maas.

Goddess Cailleach, healing hag 
so withered you’ve become
yet within layers of your sparkling white robes we feel your heart fire
poised you yield to your own recreation as triple Goddess, 
maiden Brighid from frozen ground.
in warm burning embers of winterlight
You choose your transformation 
manifest your bright display
as sunlight warms your passing days
and maiden becomes Mother

About Morning Song and Folk Soup: 
for non-profit use only
Morning Song will inspire and awaken your heart. Morning Song is a series of themed programs featuring epic soundtrack, including neoclassical and cinematic trailers, epic sci-fi/fantasy, orchestral, electronica and gaming soundtracks, Celtic, new age and world music. I will occasionally blend in folk music if it fits with the spirit of the program. Soundtracks feature inspired and dramatic themes. GRR programs may include volume sub-series. 

Folk Soup is an eclectic folk music program. Have you ever heard the phrase,”It’s all folk”? Every ingredient in this folk soup is yummy.  No matter if it’s from Nashville, Romania, the Andes mountains, New York City, your front porch, back yard or kitchen table. It’s all good. If it’s good? I throw it in the folk soup! I am in love with folklore. If you really listen to my programs, you’ll learn a lot too. That’s what makes Folk Soup enjoyed by the entire family. I never hesitate to mix up great lyric writing, production, arrangement, vocals and musical interest with some humor and intelligence, if I can.

Look for "MS" in title to indicate Morning Song episodes and "FS" in the program title to indicate Folk Soup episodes. Some playlists mix titles from both genres. About one half of the tracks here are Folk Soup, folk/singer-songwriter, programs,  and the other half are epic soundtrack programs.

All Goddess Rising Radio programs are evergreen. Morning Song and Folk Soup are intended for non-profit use and are suitable for all ages. You will always be able to find favorite playlists easily because they are organized by category and easily explored on Soundcloud.
