"Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind"

This song is featured on my new CD, "Maid on the Shore". The CD is available at CD Baby:

This is my setting of the well-known song from Shakespeare's "As You Like It". It is dedicated to the talented Myrlin A. Hermes, and is inspired by her new novel "The Lunatic, The Lover, and the Poet". In the words of Horatio, the novel's protagonist, "Who ever heard of a wintertime pastoral?" I was delighted with the scenario Ms. Hermes imagined to explain the origin of this song (and the oddly unseasonal setting of "As You Like It" itself). This song also seemed an appropriate choice to honor the novel, given that the lyrics perfectly describe Horatio's emotions as he finds himself embroiled in a highly unusual love triangle.

@ElmoRein Thank you!

Most excellent! Keep me updated when the CD is out. I love this song. :)

@Shipuh Well, you did say to keep you updated! ;) The CD is now available on CDBaby.com and my website (links in the video description). Thanks again for your kind words!

@piper42 I'll definitely be including all the traditional songs I've done videos for (except possibly Lough Tay...haven't decided whether to include that yet) and this song too. I'm also going to do "Snow" even though it's a cover and I'll have to pay licensing fees (but it's worth it, and is definitely by popular demand!). Also one original song (eek!) and a few others I don't have videos up for. Altogether there should be 11-12 songs.

@mollificent

EEEK! :D That is exciting!! I'm so happy for you! You must keep us updated! ^_^ Do you know what songs you're doing yet? :)

@piper42 Well, guess what...I just made an appointment with a local recording studio to sit down and work out a plan for my album. YESS!!!! It's happening, it's really really happening! Not sure when yet. ;)

[piper42]

Hi! :D Me again! I just had to revisit! When are you recording an album?? I will definitely buy anything you produce! <3 :D Also I heard a song called "Blow Thou Northerne Wynd" and it reminded me of this song! You should do a version of that! It would sound so beautiful with your voice and harp! Hugs! :D
