The melody of "The Three Ravens" delivered such a profound beauty when expressed through the unique tones of the Magnus Chord Organ. This performance seemed to prove how well age-old traditional music can blend with modern instruments. I'm genuinely delighted and grateful to have had the chance to listen to such a rendition.
There were three ravens sat on a tree - down a down, hey down, hey down. They were as black as black might be, with a down. The one of them said to his mate, “Where shall we our breakfast take?” with a down, derry derry, derry down down. Down in yonder green field - down a down, hey down, hey down - there lies a knight slain under his shield, with a down. His hounds they lie down at his feet, so well do they their master keep, with a down, derry derry, derry down down. His hawks they fly so eagerly - down a down, hey down, hey down - No other fowl dare him come nigh, with a down. Down there comes a fallow doe as heavy with young as she might go, with a down, derry derry, derry down down. She lifted up his bloody head - down a down, hey down, hey down - and kissed his wounds that were so red, with a down. She got him up upon her back and carried him to earthen lake, with a down, derry derry, derry down down. She buried him before the prime - down a down, hey down, hey down. She was dead herself ere evensong time, with a down. God send every gentleman such hawks, such hounds, and such leman, with a down, derry derry, derry down down.

Awfully nice of you. It turned out to be the favorite song I tried on this little organ.
Very nice. Chord organs hold a special place in my heart.
Thanks. I like them too.
There were three ravens sat on a tree -
down a down, hey down, hey down.
They were as black as black might be,
with a down.
The one of them said to his mate,
“Where shall we our breakfast take?”
with a down, derry derry, derry down down.
Down in yonder green field -
down a down, hey down, hey down -
there lies a knight slain under his shield,
with a down.
His hounds they lie down at his feet,
so well do they their master keep,
with a down, derry derry, derry down down.
His hawks they fly so eagerly -
down a down, hey down, hey down -
No other fowl dare him come nigh,
with a down.
Down there comes a fallow doe
as heavy with young as she might go,
with a down, derry derry, derry down down.
She lifted up his bloody head -
down a down, hey down, hey down -
and kissed his wounds that were so red,
with a down.
She got him up upon her back
and carried him to earthen lake,
with a down, derry derry, derry down down.
She buried him before the prime -
down a down, hey down, hey down.
She was dead herself ere evensong time,
with a down.
God send every gentleman
such hawks, such hounds, and such leman,
with a down, derry derry, derry down down.
