color=#0000ff>Baroness Julitta des Chevaux is from the Kingdom of
Atlantia. I had the fortune of singing with her several years ago at
Pennsic. She has made about a dozen learning tapes that she usde to
offer for the price of the cassettes. She gifted me with a set -
she was only up to nine, then!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=EC_406422603-06112006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>A word
of caution, though, Julitta is a wonderful performer, but her tunes and
lyrics do not always match the originals. She often rearranges tunes
so they fit her voice better. This is fine, and usually makes her
performances bettre, but you may want to double check with another source so
you can make an educated decision about how you would like to perform the
song.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal>I can't begin to describe how gratifying it's been to
see the spread of</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>this piece. I've always felt that the Society's quest
for honor, truth,</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>fellowship, and nobility were far more important than
mere historical</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>reenactment and authenticity. Furthermore, and despite
the stereotypical</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>stick-jock knight we all know so well, I've always
thought that the</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>Society's _ideal_ of the knight is one of our most
powerful icons in this</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>dream we try to build. I'm particularly happy to see
its acceptance by</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>our kinsmen in Ansteorra; there is a special bond
between our two</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>kingdoms, and the thriving nature of Gulf War bears
witness to this. For</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>those who are interested, the actual lyrics are
