SCA Bardic

In 2016 I attended the Great Western War in the kingdom of Caid. Being half way across the country, those that I camped with knew little of my home kingdom of Calontir except two things: First that we really liked shield walls in combat. Second, that we sing. A lot.

Embarrassingly, I knew no songs at the time and was unable to contribute to the songs around the campfire. But I promised that I would return with something to sing next year. Since then, I have worked to learn several songs. Some are the most well known Calontiri songs, but it's mostly what has caught my ear. A list of the songs I've learned well enough to feel comfortable singing is below. I'm working to add individual pages for each song with lyrics and historical notes as well as a recording of me singing it if I have one I like.

Songs marked with a (G) are ones that I can play on guitar as well.
