Description

The Stark Ravens' first CD is the soundtrack to their well received version of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, or What You Will, a comedy of mixed up twins & gender bending love triangles. Melodic, mellow & lilting, this CD combines original songs with lyrics either written or inspired by William Shakespeare, with lovely instrumental character themes based on traditional tunes, played beautifully on a solo Octave Mandolin by resident bard, Bryn Tucker.
