This is our version of this seventeenth century ballad, also known as Child Ballad 126.
The song file was available in the EverythingPak 2015. But we did a lot of editing on it, using RTs and Soundfont midi files.
If you listen closely you'll notice that, with every verse an instrument is added.
In that era songs tended to repeat the verse again and again (they lacked a real chorus).
In this case there were 12 verses, we chose to use only 8.

Hope you like it, any comments are welcome.

Rob and Anne-Marie, again you've excelled with both your versatility and ability to deliver quality from such a broad spectrum of music. This new genre proves that beyond doubt.

Your video captures the medieval spirit perfectly, and this is further complimented by the build you have introduced throughout the song.

Another first class delivery!

Beautifully done. Superb vocal and a really great arrangement perfectly evoking the period.
You showed great imagination in putting that together. Of course the video was a great accompaniment.

This is simply outstanding. I loved it. Quick question, what do you mean when you say the song file is available in the Everything PAK? Where do I find these song files?

Hi Rob & Anne-Marie.

Loved it!

Made me think of John Renbourn and Pentangle, if you go back that far.

Super arrangement - very clever building of the parts.

Great vocals, too.

Very, VERY, nice.

Rob & Anne-Marie,

Nice! Great job of capturing the right sound for such a song.

Super arrangement. Excellent mix. Excellent vocals (always).

Not sure this could be done any better...

Nice work... I liked the way you built it up as it goes along.

Thanks for pointing out there are folk songs in the everything pack.... not that I'll use them but nice to know they are there. One never knows....

Good job.

That was very cool. Loved words wound their way around the melody. I also loved the way the song built up as each verse progressed.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Like others have said the build was very effective,
the vocals were great and the imagery well illustrated
the period. We would like to add that the very interesting
selection of RT's not only sounded fine but further shows
the amazing versatility of BIAB in the hands of talented
musicians.

Well done!!

Terrific arrangement and vocals/harmonies.
Love how you layered it as it goes along.
To me it has a wonderful theatrical vibe like a folk song in a broadway play.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
