Enjoy the pure music. There is more to come.

lyrics:
High on mountains and low between the trees
Sir Gavin Grimbold rode out one day
He saddled, he bridled and booted rode he
And home came his good horse but never came he

Out came his mother dear greeting so fair
And came his bride drying her hair
Meadows lie green the corn remains unshorn
But Gavin Grimbold will never return
He saddled he bridled and gallant rode he
A plume in his helmet a sword at his knee

Down came his saddle all bloody to see
And home came his horse but never came he

@AirHendrix91 'tis a crumhorn

[MagicalMongoloid]

Sounds a lot like a Bombard a Breton wind instrument.

[grosdootie]

I think it's a crumhorn

[geddy9167]

I belive it sounds like a muted soprano saxophone

[AirHendrix91]

That sound on the 0:18 in the right channel part sounds awesome. Sounds like a flute on a keyboard or some sort of instrument King Crimson used.

That sound is amazing! What is that?

Fantastic early-music-progressive rock ensemble. Unfortunately obscure.

Nice slideshow, too.
