(c)1998 Carl Larsson
"And the dying King said to
Sir Bedivere: 'Here,
delay not. Take Excalibur,
and fling him far into the
lake. Watch what thou
seest, and lightly give me
word.' Then quickly rose
Sir Bedivere, and he took
the sword and strongly
wheeled and threw it. The
gread blade whirled round
and round, but ere he dipt
the surface, rose an arm
clad in white, and caught
him by the hilt, and
brandished him three
times, and drew him under
the water. Lightly
went Sir Bedivere to the
King, and carried him down
to the lake. Then saw they
how there hove a dusky
barge, dark as a funeral
scarf, and in it three
queens with crowns of
gold. And Arthur said:
'Put me in the barge, for
I must go to the island
of Avalon, where I will
heal me of my grievous
wound.'
So said he, and the barge
moved from the brink, and
Sir Bedivere wept for his
King.
Long he remained on the
shore, and he saw the
barge that bare the King
pass on and on and vanish
into the light.
And the new sun rose
bringing the new year."

Mordred and the Rain is simply beautiful. It is by far the best song in the OAFK series; an emotional climax of a climax. On a more technical level, I thought it was cool the way the strings carried the melody and chord progression that was augmented by the harp, flute, pizzicato, and other instruments.. it just sounded wonderfully complete. This is as close to musical perfection as you can get in a mod, or just about anywhere, for that matter. The one and only complaint I have in this department is that flute sample again. It's just a little too high-pitched, and the way it resonates is irritating at high notes. Nevertheless this is a professionally orchestrated piece. As far as tracking errors go it was practically flawless. A+.
