The Margrave's Song, written by Eivind Almhjell, is a song included in the highly recommended fantasy novel "The Twistrose Key" by Tone Almhjell. When I finished reading the book on the same day it was published, in October 2013, I thought it sounded like the kind of melody that I liked playing, with a nice traditional feel to it, and so I quickly made the arrangement for it within the next few days. I was not happy with my initial recording of the melody line on the recorders, however, and thought it lacked a little something, and so the project was put on hold until I completed it today, re-recording the recorders and doing some other small tweaks to my original arrangement. Some people might find this video looking for uses of the "Shevannai - Voices of Elves" musical library by Eduardo Tarilonte. Feel free to ask any questions about that aspect of it in the comments. Recorders: Yamaha YRA-314BII and YRS-314BII Additional instruments: Era Medieval Legends (celtic harp, baroque guitar, drums), Garritan's Personal Orchestra (cello), Shevannai (Voice).
