Description
By mistake I put up the old version with out a lot of backround music and new vocals.
Here is the new version!

: A Love Ballade in form of a dialogue between a Lady and a Knight.A mix with medieval and folkrock elements.
***********

Here is a group from England-West Germany->(Duo Contores Errant)< that I collaborated with from another website:
I play lead acoustical guitar in harmony form in some lead sections.


Duo Cantores Errant :

Members :

Marijan P. Horvat, Germany :Songwriter, Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Keyboard, Vocals, Lyrics and Production

Gillian D. Whitehurst, England :Songwriter, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, Lyrics

Musicstyle: : Worldmusic, Folk, Folk-Rock, Medieval, Renaissance,
Baroque, Celtic and World Traditional



Since November 2004 we have been recording collaboratively using the internet to cross the boundaries of physical and idealogical geographies.

In July 2005 we recorded together live for the first time in the same place, at the same time in South West Germany. Following this we had enough songs to create our first album together "Ripples from the Pool of Time". Duo Cantores Errant is the musical partnership resulting from that process.

We both have very different musical and life backgrounds and so our music will reflect this. Marijan has roots in Rock and classical music, Gill in Folk and Jazz. Our common ground is that if the song does not pass through our hearts on its way to the page, then it's not yet a Duo Cantores Errant song. In this we are eachother's Watcher.

Duo : Two people working together
Cantores : In song, singing
Errant : actively seeking growth

Lyrics
Knight
Lady, Let me take from you a lock of golden hair
To weave into my aching heart a chain to keep you there

Lady
Sir Knight you need no talisman to bind my heart to you
As surely as with chains of steel my love is ever true

Knight
Then take from me this token, think daily you to me
So I might sense your feeling and you my presence see

Lady
Sir I need no token to think upon your name
As often as you think of me then I will think the same

Instrumental 1

Knight
Lady, thou art contrary you'll not recieve or give
What point in my returning if this is how we'll live?

Lady
To keep your good opinion I'll take your our token, cut my hair
But it's not by sorcery alone that true love we can share

Knight
Then take from me the moonlight, it reflects now in my eyes
and ever in the deepest night it's then you'll think of I

Lady
No greater sweet suggestion could you think to me bestow
And you'll see me also up there in the silver starry glow

Instrumental 2

Both
Then walked the Knight and Lady spreading laughter in their wake
The path that's seldon trodden the path they chose to take.

Well crafted
Sounds almost like it could be from a stage production
musical. Very different. I love the way it builds through the
song. Very nice mix of the modern and traditional. It works
very well. Very nice concept peice. I would love to see the
lyrics posted. High marks all around!
Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

Thanks jg
I actually posted the wrong version earlier. The first version
that took down was a raw version that Marijan gave me
originally to work with..

Thanks so much, I'll have to give them the link to this page.


Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

as I said before, a world folk festival of music and vocals.
Splendid and enjoyably, beautifully performed.

I like the madrigal feel to this. Very theatrical and festive.
Great guitar work in here. Bravo!

I enjoyed working with this group, their voicings can really soar I feel.
They have nice folk structure that I never worked with before.

Medievel
vibe. Very cool tune; the vocals do sound highly theatrical in places. I really like the way it builds--about halfway through it gets nicely epic.
Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

different
and very cool song Bill,
I like this song a lot, it is something
different and I like the medieval feeling.
Very cool collaboration, it is so cool to
see people form different countries work
together.
