      I Agree, Some of my favourite musical pieces ever were recorded poorly but its not the sound quality that counts its the Soul of the Music that is paramount !
      And this Sounds Enchanting , Unbridled and well Preformed ,Magical in Every Way!

    Incredible job. But I'd definitely love to hear it in the original Old English. A friend's wife used to recite Old English when I had them over for parties. It's beautiful and mysterious, feeling so familiar yet so alien at the same time.

    And Beowulf came into the place
    Where giant Grendel stood, of twisted face.
    And strewn upon a beach as black as coal
    The whitened bones of warriors of old.
    Many had come, and many here had died,
    Still, “I am Beowulf of the Goths!” he cried.
    But poisoned silence filled the air with dread
    Where shadow-walkers feasted on the dead.
    And Beowulf slew the fiend with mighty hand
    And cast its severed head upon the sand.
    A mournful cry came up from caverns deep,
    The demon’s mother wakened from her sleep.
    The Queen of Darkness, mistress of the night,
    Beguiler of men and enemy of light,
    She sang a song of sorrow in her den
    And swore revenge on all the sons of men

    Texti:
    Og Beowulf kom á staðinn
    Þar sem risinn Grendel stóð með snúið andlit
    Og stráð á ströndina svarta eins og kol
    Hvíta bein kappa forðum
    Margir voru komnir og margir hér höfðu látist
    Enn ég er Beowulf af Gotunum grét hann
    En eitruð þögn fyllti loftið með ótta
    Þar sem skuggagöngumenn veisla dauðum
    Og Beowulf drap fjandann með voldugri hendi
    Og kastaðu afskorinni hendi sinni á sandinn
    Dauðans grátur kom upp úr djúpum hellisins
    Móðir púkans vaknaði af svefni
    Drottning myrkurs húsmóður næturinnar
    Rofari manna og óvinur ljóssins
    Hún söng sorgarsöng í holunni sinni
    Og sór hefnd á alla mannanna syni

      @@childish_xambino7701 ah you're misunderstanding me then. I know Beowulf is in Old English, but what the original comment contains isn't Old English but some other language like Icelandic.
      Especially for short comment chains, you ought to read the context before replying willy-nilly.
      it was specifically the bit from the one commenting underneath it
      "That's eerily close to modern swedish (and probably closer still to Icelandic"
      This person had clearly misunderstood what language the original comment was in, considering that it *is* Icelandic.
      You can tell it's Icelandic by words like 'og' (instead of and/ond), 'drottning' (the drottinn part is cognate with Dryhten in Old English), 'myrkur' (instead of something more like myrce/mirce, or just deorc), or just the simple fact that Old English isn't written with umlauts, in fact the vowel similar to that had already unrounded by that point in time.

      English culture is now somewhat repressed and ignored nowadays, (in England) and I had never heard or was aware of anything like this. So yeah, when I first heard it, I finally felt like I belonged to something, it was beautiful.

No one achieves that, and even if they did, who would want that kind of life? What if life without emotion? What is life without crying? What is life if you keep it all in a bottle that you never open until it bursts by itself and someone gets hurt. Do not live a life like that, a life of no feelings. Feel.

      Don't get me wrong i am interested in the lyrics but the way he sings and the sound of the instruments are mostly urgh...
      And to be honest, most of the songs aren't "deeply" moving. Take the Egyptian love song for e.g. it is very plain and simple and actually nothing special, its basically a "Oh you are so sexy woman" - generic love song.

      Personally, I get it; this is still archaic music that most people don't listen to

    Ok, the way you play the hurdy-gurdy on this is brilliant, the theremin was an inspired addition, but the two together at 4:00 gave me the chills! Most excellent, good sirs!

    Your vocal pitch is so on point man. Same with your theremin playing. I've never heard it sound so musical with such good vibrato.

    This is an exceptional performance Mr Pringle. Your voice compliments the tone of the hurdy gurdy rather well. Very fascinating seeing you play the variety of historical instruments that you do. I always found the theremin to be otherworldly in both its sound and manner in which it's played.
