"Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind"

Breaking news! Sheet music is now available for my arrangements of "Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór", "Tabhair Dom Do Lámh" and "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind". You can purchase the arrangements at harpmolly.com/sheet-music. (Yay!)
This song is featured on my CD, "Maid on the Shore". The CD is available at CD Baby:
‪www.cdbaby.com/cd/mollybauckham‬
This is my setting of the well-known song from Shakespeare's "As You Like It". It is dedicated to the talented Myrlin A. Hermes, and is inspired by her new novel "The Lunatic, The Lover, and the Poet". In the words of Horatio, the novel's protagonist, "Who ever heard of a wintertime pastoral?" I was delighted with the scenario Ms. Hermes imagined to explain the origin of this song (and the oddly unseasonal setting of "As You Like It" itself). This song also seemed an appropriate choice to honor the novel, given that the lyrics perfectly describe Horatio's emotions as he finds himself embroiled in a highly unusual love triangle.
More information on "The Lunatic, the Lover and the Poet" can be found at www.myrlinhermes.com .

Thank you, Shas! As always, your comments are insightful and appreciated. :)

She's back! Just beautiful, Molly. And that tapestry is the perfect background for your harp. Your performance warms this beak midwinter night. I'll check out the novel. Shas

Sounds original to me! Very nice setting of the lyrics! Your hair is lovely too.

[@mollificent]

Thanks so much!

[@AndyMossMetta]

Lovely dear, you should give us such beautiful music more and more!

[@deadhead1065]

classy and memorable , beautiful molly

[@mollificent]

Hi Dalton...glad you like it! I'm happy to hear that you're still continuing your harp studies!

[@mollificent]

Thank you...what a nice comment. "Classy and memorable" is definitely what I was going for!

[@Suranjan_Malik]

Beautiful. Thank you for this. ❤️

[@Aquanios08]

Oh my goodness. Your voice, your playing..it's so...what's the word? Beautiful! For lack of a better word lol

[@pierrebouvier518]

This is absolutely beautiful! Your voice is stunning. I love it!

[@BCajina]

Love it!

[@mollificent]

@piper42 I'll definitely be including all the traditional songs I've done videos for (except possibly Lough Tay...haven't decided whether to include that yet) and this song too. I'm also going to do "Snow" even though it's a cover and I'll have to pay licensing fees (but it's worth it, and is definitely by popular demand!). Also one original song (eek!) and a few others I don't have videos up for. Altogether there should be 11-12 songs.

[@mollificent]

@Shipuh Well, you did say to keep you updated! ;) The CD is now available on CDBaby.com and my website (links in the video description). Thanks again for your kind words!

[@mollificent]

@piper42 Well, guess what...I just made an appointment with a local recording studio to sit down and work out a plan for my album. YESS!!!! It's happening, it's really really happening! Not sure when yet. ;)

[@mollificent]

Thanks! I'll try not to leave such long intervals between videos. I'm starting to get the hang of iMovie a little bit more, though it still drives me to distraction!

[@mollificent]

Merci! (and thanks for the nice FB comment too ;)).

[@mollificent]

Absolutely...I'll PM them to you. :)

[@piper42]

@mollificent EEEK! :D That is exciting!! I'm so happy for you! You must keep us updated! ^_^ Do you know what songs you're doing yet? :)

[@TheHarperDave]

Very well done!

[@piper42]

omg! Molly! You composed this?! It's amazing!! I love your playing and singing... my harping is coming along but I'm only teaching myself so I'm sure I'm a proper harpers worst nightmare! haha!

[@mollificent]

Thanks Vanessa! (I thought I'd posted a reply yesterday, but it must've vanished into the ether). I thought I was having a bad hair day, so I'm glad you think it looks good!

[@Themandyking]

woah, your song is really beautiful

[@mollificent]

@ElmoRein Thank you!

[@surayasidhusingh5459]

Is this your own arrangement? Far and away the best I've heard. Magical

[@mollificent]

It is! I composed it in 2010. Thank you so much!

[@raquelsequeira3876]

Hi! This is so enchanting :) I am a student in a Fellowship with the Folger Shakespeare Library, and we are performing some AYLI scenes, and plan to include live music of this song. This is the most beautiful version of the song I have found. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your arrangement? It's really perfect and it would be amazing to have it to work off. Would that be possible? Completely understandable if not. Thanks again for the beautiful music!

[@cassandrap7402]

Still one of my favorites! :)

[@mollificent]

Cassandra Punohu Thanks again! It was such a thrill to have you sing it in As You Like It. Aloha!

[@cassandrap7402]

It was my pleasure!

[@piper42]

Hi! :D Me again! I just had to revisit! When are you recording an album?? I will definitely buy anything you produce!

[@mollificent]

Thanks so much!
