[Elfsea] Fwd: Requirements for the Bard of Elfsea Competition

[eleanor cleavely]

Unto the Bards of Elfsea,

my deepest and humblest apologies! I would have sworn upon my best dress
that I'd sent this to the Elfsea list. However, I see that the late hour and
my current mental state (which is roughly that of an 80 year-old woman)
caused me to leave off some very important recipients. I do humbly apologize
for this offense and hope that you can overlook my muddled mind.

Humbly,
Eleanor Cleavely
Bard of Elfsea
Descendant of the White Oak

PS: My thanks to Lord Daniel de Tankard for pointing out my error.

Unto the Bards of Elfsea do I, Lady Eleanor Cleavely, send humble and
heartfelt greetings on this cool spring eve.

My brothers and sisters in song:

Below, please find the bardic competition format for the Elfsea Title
Bard competition this summer:

1. Bards must memorize and perform a story/song/poem from any culture
that was composed between 600 & 1600 CE and provide documentation that
the piece is period. Documentation may be oral or written and may be
included in the introduction of the piece.

2. Bards must memorize and perform a piece (either an excerpt or
complete) from Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales". Examples
would be the Nun Prioress' Tale, the Pardoner's tale, the Knight's
tale, etc. Documentation may be oral or written and may be included in
the introduction of the piece.

3. Bards must memorize and perform a piece that is considered their
best piece. Ideally, the piece should be in a period style.
Documentation is favored, but not required.

Those Bards wishing to compete must be prepared to perform all three
pieces for the competition, even though they may not need all three.
Those competing MUST meet ALL requirements with regards to their
pieces in order to be considered for Bard of Elfsea. All pieces MUST
be memorized.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ever your humble servant and friend,
Eleanor Cleavely
Bard of Elfsea
Descendant of the White Oak
