Loreena McKennit for the win! <3 I have like four or five of her CDs. She be awesome.
You should also check out the Mediaeval Baebes. They sing in old english, latin, italian, etc.,etc., mainly older folk songs. They've put some of Shakespeare's stuff to words, as well as some older poetry. :3 Here's what I could find on youtube. (Apparently they have a new CD out that I haven't listened to yet...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVKLo9YepUg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSH1HdfOtCI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pwXFVCsuvU&feature=related
And thank you for the links! :D
My teacher is full of such stories. He is full of awesome. He's also not afraid to offend people - he criticizes pretty much everyone equally, be they British, American, Czech, Hungarian, and is shamelessly joking about Austria being awesome. He's a sweetheart.
