This is the hawtest sh*t out there since “Ring Around the Rosie.”
Henry Purcell’s semi-opera, The Fairy-Queen, is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s now performing in London.
If you’re strapped for cash and can’t make it to London to see the play in action, get a small taste for the real thing by ch-ch-checking out the sheet music (above)!!
He’s soooooo talented.
Ahh!!! This song is just sooooo catchy!
An amazeballs song has recently made its way over from Europe called “Ring Around the Rosie,” and thankfully the bubonic plague didn’t come along with it!!
It goes like this:
Ring around the rosie
a pocket full of posies
ashes, ashes
we all fall down!
Some say the song became popular when the first black plague took over Europe in 1347, but the plague currently crippling Europe has made the song a hit again. Supposedly the “ring around the rosie” part refers to a red mark — the first sign of the plague — and posies are said to ward off the infection.
Well we don’t care about WHY the song came to be, we only care that it exists!!!
We will DEFINITELY be singing this one for years to come.
Our music prayers have been answered!! If you haven’t already heard, Thomas Ravenscroft wrote a new song about blind mice and it’s soooo good.
The lyrics are:
Three Blinde Mice,
Three Blinde Mice,
Dame Iulian,
Dame Iulian,
the Miller and his merry olde Wife,
she scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife.
Finally something NEW in the music scene! Hopefully he will perform live in our area soon.
Keep the songs coming, bb!!
