Faire Folke Songbook

By C. R. Bryan

Faire Folke Songbook by C. R. Bryan, Shamus ODouilhe at Faires, is a book with twenty-four song-dance originals in both English and Spanish. They will pique the curiosity of any musician, poet, or adventurer in music and song. Original, but in the modes and irregular rhythms of folk music and in several different styles, the songs will delight those who know the Renaissance Fairs and appeal to the aficionado of period music as the inspiration for these simple songs. There will be an audio CD of the instrumental version available so that singers may try out their skills.

C. R. Bryan

C. R. Bryan is a well-known character at several Renaissance and Medieval Faires. He is an artist, author and musician with 65 years of playful experience. These original songs are inspired by the music and musicians he knows. You will find Pirate ditties, pagan songs, bar songs, Irish folk and Celtic, medieval and renaissance styles, and even a Romany tribute dance-song. If you sing or play these tunes, you will be living in two worlds of the present and one of the past. The author is enamored of modal and irregular rhythm, so look out for bumps in the path!

Welcome Friends!

These songs are original to me, the little green mon ye may know as Shamus O’Douilhe. They are as like as may be to what ye may hear at a faire or festival, except no one elsehas heard them or played them until now. How, ye may ask, can they be folk tunes? Well, myself I am a folk person, and I made them and so that is that! So don’t be bothering yer pretty head any more about the categories. Enjoy the tunes if ye may, and learn them and sing them if ye can,
