whew, the Culprit Fay was a long one. Kudos again to Leanne for her excellent mystical narration

The whole sounds great.

Recording time: 34:05 min.

(this is probably the longest poem in this collection. I was already proud of my long deed in Eve of St. Agnes and that one turned out "only" 22 minutes. Let's see how long the Ancient Mariner will be)

Tomas, the ending of your Erl-King is SCARY !!! All along this enticing sing song and then WHAM this threatening voice. I feel now I wasn't sounding scared enough maybe as the child LOL Great effect

The poem sounds wonderful. It is one of my favourite poems in German.

Is this a melody you invented ? I believe some famous composer also wrote a tune for this poem, but can't remember how it goes now.

onward we plough...Judas Iscariot's voice sounds so sad and resigned. I really had pity with him

Again, a great poem, assembled. Well done !

and the final two are done. I loved the Blessed Damozel, so sweetly and sadly narrated

and Una and the Lion (love the more archaic pronunciation of certain words):

And that's it for now. Anthony is in for another marathon

And now I really need a break (*collapses*)

WOW, thank you for assembling these so quickly, Sonia!

A lot of progress made in a day. And thank goodness I stopped when I did.

Also, thank you for the compliments! The tune for "The Erl-King" was made up on the spot, as was the decision to become completely menacing in the end.

Your poor child had no chance.

honestly....that's what I also thought at this point. I feared you would give me the Ancient Mariner as well

Thank you, Leanne!

Hopefully those will pass Anthony's inspection.

I noticed you used the 'kbp' ending again for these, so I've marked it in the MW for David to take care of. No need to change anything unless Anthony has PL notes for you... in which case, it would be easier to upload your fixed files with the required 'kb' ending.

Tomas,

I have changed the file names both in the MW and in the uploader folder. Some tools like Checker will not work well with the .kbp in the file name.
