Sedayne : May Carol (The Heavenly Gates)

[neanderman]

Hello from Derbshire Sabrina, marvelous video's, lovely music to. Very pleased to discover Sedayne, love his ancient sounding music, most evocotive. I will be researching him after I have written this. Thankyou Sabrina for you thoughtful work. I have been to Castlerigg and Long Meg, used to live in Cumbria in the 80's. I'm gonna go to your Yt page and request friendship. Great to meet you

peace and love

wow... first of all, the video is wonderful... but i have to comment that i find it oddly entertaining to read the other responses. do something out of the ordinary and it is taken with offense or is corrected to an annoying level. "not the correct way of playing"... damn now you have to re-record the video... the amazing thing about most folk music is that it was never played in the "correct" form....

cheers i hope to hear more

I showed this to my boyfriend, and he suggested we hire you to distress the nice weekend walkers we have down my local bluebell wood next May. Woods are strictly for taking your Weimaraner for a shite round here of course. He also suggested that Pan playing his pubes with a twig, might be just a tad more authentic and traditional sounding, but it was a good job overall...

Seriously though, all good stuff. I'm gonna have to check your myspace and such.

Not to mocking you, but I wish to share a thing: Play on the Citera with hand is something like hitting a young girl with baseball bat...

If you come here (Hungary) one day, and find a real citera player (I mean an old one), he will tell you that. In the right hand they use small wood stick to play. Nowadays citera players are usually playing with hands as you but the some (less than 10) existing old citera master knows that this is wrong way. An important part of the tradition is getting lost.

[xxxHeWancixxx]

But the music is great. Learn to play the citera in the traditional way, and it will be even more great! Good luck!

i think im related to him! otherwise he sux!

If you re-do this on May Day 08 can you make sure the videographer has coffee AFTER the shoot? ;o)

[FonkyLynx]

Mudcat! 5 Stars for sure. Just for demonstrating that instrument. All the best...bob/Montreal. See you on Mudcat...

I turn this video on and let it sit in the background. I kinda wish there was a higher quality mp3 of this somewhere, but I haven't really looked around. This is awesome.

[maddanana]

I do stuff like that outside all the time!

[dread66mon]

That's really cool! Very earthy, organic and mystical.

[Jabberwockistan]

You know, it's incredibly odd, but I'm really enjoying it. As an Appalachian dulcimer player, I really dig the drones. Likewise, as a Watersons fan, I dig North English music, so this is up my alley.

[Joskapistanyaad]

It's really strange to hear an English song on citera, but I like it.

[Fabyr]

Really interesting,great musician.Excellent video!

[Jill74]

Deeply moving,the roots of the sound ... Thanks

The most interesting part of this beautiful performance, to me, is that the artist has nearly re-created the instrumental line-up for Indonesian kecapi suling music. A typical ensemble would include a kecapi zither, suling, a simple bamboo reed flute, optional Jew's harp, and various bells. The zither is a quieter alternative to the brassy gamelan is often used when playing indoors for martial artists.

You are a one man band and I salute you.

No

[homokhat]

hm atörekvés jó de a kivitelezás az nekem nem tetszik :(

[sabrinaeden]

Could I have that in English please?

[Berkeleyappho]

An online translation program said he thinks "it is good, but doesn't like your effects." It wouldn't translate "atörekvés."

There are folk purists the world over.

[Joskapistanyaad]

Yes, becouse it's "a törekvés". It means the effrot.

[Berkeleyappho]

Thank you.
