*Three musicians, one dressed all in red and wearing an Ilsare cloak, take the stage in the Bulls-Eye. As the other two assemble their instruments, the red-garbed elf speaks*
This little ditty we're playing today
Is a folktune of elven roots
So I've penned variations that we're going to play
On a trio of elven reed flutes.
Before the performance, I'll sing for you all;
This same elven folktune, learned when I was small...
*she pauses, then sings, unaccompanied, in a clear soprano*
Hello there my lord and my lady fair - my parents are away
They're fighting Bloodstone, 'cross the sea - but they'll come back someday.
*Her mouth quirks in somewhat bitter humour, and then she lifts the recorder to her lips and repeats the tune. The musician to her right, playing a larger instrument, picks up a bass line, followed by counterpoint from the musician to her right, all three instruments blending together (http://www.darkstorme.ca/therise/variations_on_elven_folktune.mp3).*
To the scattered applause, the three bow, and depart.
// Therise's Perform skill is much higher than mine, and I only spent an hour writing and recording this. Don't judge her! ;)
