 Once
again a completely instrumental album. All tracks are by Bo Hansson. Oddly
enough the album is supposed to be inspired by Watership Down, but each
track has a quote associated with it - and the quote doesn't come from
the book.
First released as 'El-ahrairah'
in Sweden on YTF-50350 E (thanks to Leif Christens for the correction).
Sire 6044 in the USA in 1977.
Charisma CAS 1132 1977
- Born Of The Gentle South - After dark
vapor have opress'd our plains for a long dreary season, comes a day born
of the gentle south, and clears away from the sick heavens all unseemly
stains. (Keats)
- Allegro For A Rescue - Oh Happy state!
When souls each other draw, when love is liberty and nature law. (Pope)
- Legend And Light - The intellect of
the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.
(Hare)
- Trial And Adversity - In this wild
world the fondest and the best are the most tried, most troubled, and distress'd.
(Crabbe)
- The Twice - Victory - A victory is
twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers. (Shakespeare)
- The Kingdom Brightly Smiles - O Peace!
And dost thou with thy presence bless the dwellings of this war-surrounded
isle; soothing with placid brow our late distress, making the triple kingdom
brightly smile? (Keats)
