Brian Peters does an amazing Danish ballad Ravengaard og Memering which he calls Sir Aldingar. Child actually classifies this as #59 but there are similarities, as there are also with Gil Morice, #83, (which Child classifies two after Little Musgrave (#81).

This one has absolutely everything in it (except the curtains got in the sale last week). Sometimes I think these ballads need a good sort out, but usually I don't.They're just allegories of people doing what they do and you can shuffle the scripts but nothing actually changes, people still do appalling things.

I'm actually much more interested in the tunes nowadays, but I'm still looking forward to Brian Peters' Child Project CD due out soonish.
