We've got most of the song - all but the first couple of lines. Unfortunately, the camera was unable to capture Dahrien's drawings. Perhaps they escaped? If you want to get a look at them, talk to Dahrien.

Another Pennsic Denied Concert
Another Pennsic Denied Concert - Starring John Inchingham & Cerian Cantwr

A celebration of both laughter and tears, merriment and memorials. We've been told that, while parts
of this concert are quite serious, the overall effect might be considered... foolish.

Filmed August, 2021 at The Ivy Annex before an even more existential studio audience than last time.

We can't be at Pennsic again this year, but still insist on singing like we're there anyway.

Brevity
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2014 in Ravenslake

Brevity

In the morning, participants will be given a word or phrase that is the seed of an acrostic - both the topic and the initial letters of a poem (or song). For example, given the word BREVITY:

Bitter herbs in savory dish,
Rich broth turns ashen on the tongue.
Every breath makes every wish
Vie to be a prayer sung.
It is no riddle - life is brief:
There is no hiding from that thief.
Yet now's no time to utter grief.

(The words and phrases given out on the day will be longer.)

Loki And The Rainbow - Dahrien Cordell
Recorded at Warriors & Warlords 2023 in the Barony of Jararvellir.

Dahrien would also like you to know that he created this story himself; it is not a story from any
of the old sources. It was inspired during a bardic challenge at Bardic Roundhouse in the
Cleftlands, by a drawing done by John Inchingham, which Dahrien describes as "...a scene of the
ocean, with the sun setting over it, reflected in the water, and an escarpment of land bearing at
its edge a lonely leafless tree, and which John had inexplicably colored in by scribbling with every
crayon in the box, so that it looked like the rainbow had bled out onto the page."

Maraha, Prince of [your country here]
Through a rather bizarre comma misadventure, our favorite itinerant storyteller Maraha - decidedly a
commoner and non-combatant - was recently mistaken for the Prince of the Midrealm (he now styles
himself "The Bard Formerly Known as Prince"). Tell us a tale* of an unlikely Royal (specifically
Maraha, if you like).

Rondeau de Dahrien
Rondeau Prime: Rondeau de Dahrien - Dahrien Cordell
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2022 in the Shire of the Ravenslake.

Rondeau Prime:
The rondeau prime is a shorter variation of the rondeau. It too is a French form dating from the
13th century. It contains twelve lines, which tend to be iambic. Ten of them are of similar
length, while the two half-lines restate the opening phrase. The verse is split into two sections -
seven lines in the first and five in the second. Both sections end with the half-line refrain. The
rhyme scheme is as follows: abbaccbR abbaR

A The rondeau prime is an alternate form;
B It has but twelve lines and not fifteen -
B Throughout the verse, iambs are routine.
C Now while the line lengths can be varied,
C They should stay close, like they were married.
B Except the half-line, which restates the theme:
R The rondeau prime

A So to these guidelines please conform,
B And do not let your lines careen,
B Your verse should sweetly sound serene.
A A new piece that you now perform.
R The rondeau prime

Y'ishmael, the Little Ones
A Crate of Surprises: Y'ishmael, the Little Ones - Dahrien Cordell
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2021 in the ethereal realm.

A Crate of Surprises:
A shipment of NEW folk and fae tales has arrived at port, and you've been handed a crate! Drawing
inspiration from myth, legends, fables, and perhaps even bestiary manuscripts, create a new tale in
the style of these folk stories, or perhaps relate an unusual or lesser known tale.

Tell us in song, story, poem, or prose - what did you unpack from your crate?

The Rusalkas Are Coming, The Rusalkas Are Coming
A Rusalka is a Slavic water spirit, the soul of a young woman whose life ended violently (and usually as a result of a bad relationship). She must carry her comb to come on dry land, where she will climb into the trees, comb her hair, and sing. Let's end the evening with a melancholy or spooky tale: Tell us a tale* of such a spirit. Gender-bending welcome.
