A Flower and a Hufflepuff
May. 9th, 2018 12:11 pmFor a very long while, I have tried to write a proper filk about the redshirt. I first had my eyes on Evert Taube's "Balladen om briggen 'Blue Bird' av Hull" in the Star Trek environment, but never could get a suitable scenario.
Then, a few days ago, the fate of Cedric Diggory and Dan Andersson's masterpiece "En spelmans jordafärd" (Youtube, and an English translation) met each other, and this was the result.
( As the evening sun is shining on the tower of Ravenclaw )
There are some passages that could need future polishing and are slightly tricky to sing, but I think I've hit diminishing returns right now.
ETA: I found the notation for Dan Andersson's melody at a local library, and have fixed most of the scansion issues now.
