You enter a brightly candle-lit room, there are two rows of seats arranged to the right of you, some of which have already been filled. In front of these seats, a small group of musicians has set up, and arranged themselves in a semi-circle facing the audience.

One of the musicians addresses the audience:

"Ladies and Gentleman, let me welcome you to tonight's recital! I am Criz the Bard, and these are several students staying at this college. Tonight, we shall be performing several works, the first of which was composed by myself in honour of all travelling musicians:"


"My fisrt composition is a short musical piece, written for harp, called 'Home'.

The rest of our program tonight includes:

Two short pieces written by myself, the first entitled 'The Shire'.

The second is called 'The Road Goes Ever On And On..'.

'Si Beg Si Mor', by Turlough O'Carolan. Arranged by Bella.

'The Road to Paradox' by Lady Raederle. [Lyrics]

'Gymnopedie III' by Christopher White, an autistic friend of mine.

The 'Dance Suite', by Pierre Attaignant, and traditional folk dance, called 'Rķu, rķu, chķu'."

"(Both of these were arranged by Curtis Clark.)"

"A short piece aptly named: 'Bard Dance' by Enya."

"A lilting piece called: 'The Yew Tree' by The Battlefield Band."
