Nu we sculon herigean heofonrices weard, Meotodes meahte ond his modgeþance,
Weorc wuldorfæder, swa he wundra gehwæs, Ece drihten, or onstealde. He ærest sceop eorðan bearnum heofon to hrofe, halig scyppend; Þa middangeard moncynnes weard, ece drihten, æfter teode firum foldan, frea ælmihtig.

@psykl0n from me :)

What an amazing voice!
-
I was wondering what this would sound like sung. Thanks.
-
Nice! It would be sound far better, though, if the song were accompanied by some ancient instrument, i.e. a lyre or a hurdy gurdy, rather than a modern piano.
-
Dude! Did not expect that kind of voice! This is incredible!
-
Loved it! Really nice arrangement of the poem!
-

@PinkGloom Thank you very much! I'm so glad to know this has been used for academic purposes out there.

Well done. Out of curiosity, is this an attempt at an 8th century composition? I presumed not, since I'm sure you're aware that polyphony wasn't invented in Europe till the 12th century.

Oh no. I've had enough music history to know that is the case. I just wanted in the accompaniment something simplistic that sounded nice with the sung text.

I would just like to say thank you to all who have commented on this video. I really loved working with the language, although I was new to it, and I hope to take on more projects like this in the future!
