Trimarian Songbook

[Dave & Laura McKinstry]

Since there has been some interest, I thought I'd post the information.

"Vivat! Trimaris" is a tape the kingdom of Trimaris created a few years 
ago, using songs written and performed by the musicians of our kingdom. 
On the tape, there are 12 songs, one of which is specific to Trimaris.  
They are as follows:

	Vivat! The Dream  	(25th yr. anniversary song)
	Belt & Chain		
	Grania's Song		
	Love Song
	Ship of the King
	Celebrin
	Where are you Going?
	Tale of the Sea King's Boon
	Morgan La Fey
	Folk of the Plaid
	Ballad of Pennsic
	Vivat! Trimaris
	
The songbook has the words of all these except "Sea King's Boon" which 
was withheld by the lyricist.  "Vivat! The Dream" has music for the 
voice, but no guitar chords.  "Grania", "Celebrin", "Where" and "Morgan" 
have no chords, just words, the rest have words and guitar chords.  
"Celebrin" was meant to be sung a capella - the other three seem to be 
straightforward, chordwise.  I haven't tried, but I believe I could come 
up with the chords in one sitting.

My personal review of the tape - there are one or two songs that are 
okay, there is at least one song that, alone, is worth the purchase of 
the tape ("Morgan La Fey" by Jed Silverstar) and the majority of the 
songs are good - I'd be happy to sing them at any bardic circle.  This 
tape grows on you.  I quite often have it playing while I work on my 
garb.  None of the songs irritate me, really (as in, there goes Lark 
over the table to quickly fast-forward past this one cause it drives her 
nuts, which for other tapes can happen.)

I'll e-mail Master Rurik and see if he's willing to send tape and/or 
book to anyone interested, and will post that information as soon as I 
can.
