Chinon/Eleanor�s Arrival  performed by  John Barry  (1968)
Composed by John Barry
From: England
Mood: Foreboding!
Recommended by ronin [profile] on Wednesday 22nd December 2004

This song comes from the stellar soundtrack to 1968 film "The Lion in Winter," my first outing w/J. Barry. Wow. The whole album edged out all rock music at parties. This song has a lovely rocking boat-on-water undercurrent to it (Queen Eleanor is being rowed upriver in a barge), with soaring turns-taking female /male voices singing in Latin. It has a little, quiet horn bridge to it, but then the waves of sound come back and die out. Gorgeous. Defintely a winter-feel album (the story takes place at Christmas, too).

from The Lion in Winter, available on CD (Sony)
