Hello, my friends. By now, you have probably all heard that Siobhán ní hEodhusa
(mka Leigh Ann Hussey) was killed in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday evening.
She wrote "To the West" and "Black Swan Rising", among many songs, and was
the first Bard of the West and the second Bard of the Mists. She was a wonderful
singer and violinist.<br>
<br>
This Saturday is Mists Investiture. Their Highnesses Roric and Peza have
asked the West Kingdom Choir to lead the populace in singing "To the West"
during their final court. WKC will supply the words and scores to any who
want them. Two scores will be available: the simple melody-and-words score
from the Elf Hill Times songbook, and the full 5-part arrangement by Alessandro
(which, by the way, was blessed by Siobhán).<br>
<br>
WKC will also be leading the populace in singing "To the West" at June Crown.<br>
<br>
I have upload a full set of practice files to our Yahoo group, as well as
to sca-west and SCA-Xton. I urge any of you who can to come and sing Saturday
at Investiture. Just learn the melody if you want. Don't worry at all about
how well you know it. This is not a performance -- it is a wake. Everyone
there is going to be singing, and most of us will probably be crying. Hell,
I'm crying just writing this, and I never even met the Lady.<br>
<br>
And by the way, if any of you are wondering, as I did, "Siobhán ní hEodhusa"
is pronounced "shah-VAHN nah HAY-sa". As I have often said, the French never
learned to spell, but the Gaels never even grasped the concept.<br>
<br>
Love to you all,<br>
John<br>
