[Bards] Ansteorran Bardic Songbook? and Voices of the Star 2

[Alden Drake]

For a songbook, I would recommend it as a worthy project for the bardic 
community. :)  I think such an undertaking would be well served by everyone's 
input and contributions, with perhaps a key volunteer or two to coordinate 
efforts, collect material, edit the bardbook, and publish it.  In that venture, 
I would be happy to advise.

"Voices of the Star" was intended to be a periodical bard book (songs, poetry, 
and prose).  As I was collecting materials for a second volume, 
interest/submissions waned, and I didn't get enough together to publish a full 
book.  Below is a list of everything I collected for Volume II.  There are 4 
songs and  22 poetry & prose entries (26 total), compared to Volume I, which had 
21 songs and 39 poetry & prose entries (60 total).  


"A Lay for a Don" (poem) - Annes Clotilde von Bamburg
"The Clearing" (poem) - Giles Guthrie
"Dark Legion" (poem) - Karl Heinrich von Essweiller
"The Steady and Cateau" (poem) - Lyllianne the Poetess
"Frederich" (poem) - Esther of Ennis Merth
"Is It Among the Stones" (poem) - Lillias MacGuffin
"Light of the Shadowe" (poem) - Lillias MacGuffin
"Bonwicke Shall Not Fall" (poem) - Simone Ui'Dunlaingh
"He Doth Crown" (poem) - Simone Ui'Dunlaingh
"Standard of Honor" (poem) - Simone Ui'Dunlaingh
"Brothers in Arms" (poem) - Elanor O'Ruark
"The Bard's Tale" (poem) - Elanor O'Ruark
"Who Caught Who" (poem) - Serena Dominicci
"Borderkeep: The Dream" (poem) Brian O' hUilliam
"Queen Lucy" (poem) - Emma Haldan
"Don Brendan is on Fire" (poem) - Emma Haldan
"For Dona Antonia" (poem) - Emma Haldan
"Triolet 12" (poem) - James Northfolke
"A Day at the Stones" (poem) - James Northfolke
"Ode to My Corset" (poem) - Susanna Nightegale
"The Yellow Streak a Mile Wide" (poem) - Paedric O'Mullan
"Requiem in Purpure" (poem) - Elanor O'Ruark

"The Prince's Reply" (song) - Celeste Courtenay de Montmorency
"Agincourt" (song) - Kenneth MacQuarrie
"Castelon" (song) - Maggie MacPherson
"Ave Ansteorrae" (song) Paedric O'Mullan

If Volume II is still desired, I would be happy to continue taking submissions 
(particularly songs).  I'd like to get to at least 48 total entries to publish.  
The requirements were that the submission be written either by Ansteorrans, for 
Ansteorra(ns), or about Ansteorra(ns).  Each person could submit up to three 
works to be included, each with a permission form to publish.

In service,
Alden

I have a copy of the Ansteorran Children's Bardbook that was put together by Ld 
Antigonus Bearbait (Tiggy). But I do not believe we have one for the adults 
yet......a worthy project for the Kingdom Bard? Or maybe just a bard with too 
much time on her hands, lol.


"Little girls, this seems to say, Never stop upon your way. 
Never trust a stranger-friend; No one knows how it will end. 
As you're pretty, so be wise; Wolves may lurk in every guise. 
Handsome they may be, and kind, Gay, or charming never mind! 
Now, as then, 'tis simple truth... 
Sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!"

Greetings all!

I was wondering if there was a common song/book put together for Ansteorra 
specifically. Songs that everyone knows and are commonly sung around the fire. 
Something for new bards to get started with perhaps....

Many thanks,
