Thread Name: Origins: The Horn of the Hunter
Subject: RE: Origins: The Horn of the Hunter
Alan Bell's "Horn of the Hunter" is his own lyrics, set to the tune of the older song. Alan's song is a lament for the lost valley and community of Mardale, drowned in the 1930s to form Haweswater Reservoir. In dry summers, the remains of the village can still appear.
