When your king Richard asks you after the battle why you singlehandedly charged at the Saracen lines before he gave the order.

“But my lord, ‘Freebird’ was playing …”

One of my favorites was a hit during the Third Crusade where the English were certainly the MVPs. A very big thank you to everyone involved who helped me bring this into the world 😂

“We Didn’t Start the Fire” (Bardcore | Medieval/Renaissance Style Cover)

There are many covers of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” that adapt it to different times, but we wanted to give it the bardcore treatment. *Unlike the original, the list is not chronological, and jumps around in time a lot. It very loosely spans from around 400 to 1600, and is from a rather Eurocentric point of view. Thank you to my brother, Friar Funk, for devising the lyrics and providing the majority of the vocals. Many thanks as well to his new wife and our dad for joining us in the chorus at the end.

The image of the monk is from MS Bodleian 602. A scribe at his desk Š The Bodleian Libraries Oxford
There are simply too many other images to credit here, but the majority are public domain from wiki media.

“Dust In the Wind” – With Hildegard von Blingin’

Filed under: Media — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Algal the Bard
Published 11 Jun 2022

Lyrics:

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, and the moment’s gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
We are naught but dust in the wind

Don’t linger on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your riches won’t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
We are naught but dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind

Behold him merry by the musicians booth
I couldst see he was but a youth
The rhythm made me swoon
For they played my fav’rite tune
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me, singing

I crave bardic lute
Toss another coin to yon bard milady
I crave bardic lute
Come spend th’eventide and make merry

He grinn’d thus I approached to ask his name
‘It matters not’ he quipped,
“For tis all the same”
Asked “Couldst I take thee home, whither we shalt be alone?”
An lo we traveled on,
He was wi me aye me
An lo we traveled on
He was with me aye me singing
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me, singing

I crave bardic lute
Toss another coin to yon bard milady
I crave bardic lute
Come spend th’eventide and make merry

Asked “Couldst I take thee home, whither we shalt be alone?”
An lo we traveled on,
He was wi me aye me
An lo we traveled on
He was with me aye me singing
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me, singing

“Jolene” (Bardcore | Medieval Style)

Jolene, By Dolly Parton (Bardcore/Medieval Style)

Good morrow! I have descended from my cloister once more with another offering for the ravenous rabble.

Silliness aside, I want to thank you all again for helping to make such a wholesome part of the internet. I live for your hilarious comments and witty imaginings, and only wish I had more time to devote to this. I’m back to work, so I can’t aspire to weekly videos, but I do endeavour to continue making these.

The art is a composite/partial paint over of three different sources, including: MS Bodley 264, and Lausanne, Bibliothèque Cantonale et Universitaire U 964 – Biblia Porta fol. 178r, and one other that I’ve had no luck tracking down.

Lyrics:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I beg of thee, pray take not my lord
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I fear, from thee, ‘twould take naught but a word
Thy beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Thy smile is like a breath of Spring
Thy voice is soft like Summer rain
And I cannot compete with thee
Jolene
He talketh of thee in his sleep
And alas, I cannot keep
From weeping when I hear thy name
Jolene
Although it is so plain to see
How little he doth mean to thee
My love for him is boundless as the sea
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I beg of thee, oh please take not my lord
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I fear, from you, ‘twould take naught but a word
Thou couldst have thy choice of men
But I could never love again
He is the only one for me
Jolene
I would risk both life and limb
To spend my only days with him
My happiness is at thy whim,
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I beg of thee, pray take not my lord
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I fear, from thee, ‘twould take naught but a word

Il y a une meson en Orleans
Qui se sousnomme le Soleil levant
Et ele fu la ruine de maint garsilleurs
Dont fui aussi partant …

Ma mere estoit une taillieuse
Qui cousit mes braies de lin
Mon pere lui estoit un joueur et
D’Orleans un citadin

E les seules choses qu’un joueur requiert
Sont une male et une botte
E le seul moment de repos pour lui
Est saĂźl au fond d’un pot

O, mere, di le aus anfaz
De ne pas feire com moi
Pechiez tout au lonc de vos tristes vies
La ou le Soleil feict loy

Bien, j’ai un piĂŠ sur le pavement
L’autre est sur le char
Sui de retorn a Orleans
Ou l’air-mesme est une bare

In prima itineris parte
Omnia vitae intuebar.
Erant plantae, aves, saxa et res
Arena, colles et orbes.
Primum quod vidi musca bombans fuit
Et caelum sine ulla nube.
Calor magnus et tellus sicca
Sed aer soni plenus erat.

Eremum transii vectus sine nomine equo
Mihi placuit pluviam nullam pati.
In eremo, tuum nomen recordaris,
Nam nemo adest quin te ullo modo vexet.

Post duos dies sub eremi sole (DUos DIes)
Pellis mea iam rubebat,
Post tres dies in gaudio illius loci,
(loCI)
Antiqui fluminis alveum vidi.
Et quod narrabat de flumine antea vivo
Me maximopere contristavit.
(maxiMOpere CONtrisTAvit)

Eremum transii vectus sine nomine equo,
Mihi placuit pluviam nullam pati.
In eremo, tuum nomen recordaris,
Nam nemo adest quin te ullo modo vexet.

Post novem dies, equum liberavi,
Cum eremus mare factus sit.
Erant plantae, aves, saxa et res,
Arena, colles et orbes.
Sub mari enim vita certe floret
Sed id eremus videtur supra.
Sub urbibus cor terra factum iacet,
Sed homines amorem nullum dabunt.

Eremum transii vectus sine nomine equo
Mihi placuit pluviam nullam pati.
In eremo, tuum nomen recordaris,
Nam nemo adest quin te ullo modo vexet.
