Set to World Tree Music's song of Scarborough Fair (and Overture) a traditional ballad of Great Britain that presents a tale of unrequited love as a young man tells the listener to ask his former love to perform a series of impossible tasks, such as making him a cambric shirt without a seam and washing it in a dry well, if she completes the tasks he will take her back....In this version sung by Gretchen Cornwall of World Tree Music, the roles are reversed, the singing narrator and task setter is the young woman herself.The ballad appears to have derived from an earlier Scottish ballad 'The Elfin Knight' and the song's origins could also have connections with Spencer's Faerie Queene and the Elfin Knight therein.For more details please see my Blog The Dance Of Life, here( http://bit.ly/zl4P2L )The Cast;The Elf Knight, Rik XarisThe Faerie Queene, Brielle Coronet,The Elf Knight's companion, Meta Body Dinosaur -co meilo Minotaur, FreeSky Republic,The Faerie Queene's companion, Meta Body Fog -co meilo Minotaur, FreeSky Republic,Tudor Ladies and Gentleman, Carey Chenault, Sann Release & Benno Sands, Dr Plague, Tudor Juggler and Faerie Gentleman, Celestial Elf.Grateful thanks;Laufey Markstein of Trident for providing Bosk, Verr, Animated Harvest Field & Hunting Horn Trasgo Beaumont for Early Long Tudor Doublet and Battoni Blue Silver,Cyneswith Luik for authentic Renaissance Dances and Juggle Balls.Many thanks also for permissions to film at following locations;Gaia Rising co Enchantress Sao,The Faery Crossing co The High Faery Court,Renaissance Island co Diamond Coronet,Isle of Mists co Ashira Legien,Beyond The 9th Wave co FreeSky Republic.Soundtrack created with Scarborough Fair and Overture by WorldTreeMusic( http://www.worldtreemusic.com/ )sound samples licensed under Creative CommonsAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ )Also Sound effects via Freesound ( http://www.freesound.org/ )Including the following authors; dobroide, hammerklavier, inchadney, klankbeeld, Mxsmanic,Timbre.Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1 License( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sampling+/1.0/ )Filmed on Exodus Viewer Beta,Windows XP using Fraps and Serif MoviePlus X3.Conceived, Directed and Produced c.Celestial Elf 2012.
