The Stag & The Sickle

My wife was listening to this song, which I'd never heard before, while working in her art studio on her day off. 


I stood there listening to it for a few minutes, and then I said, "Hey! They're doing alliterative poetry, front-rhymes instead of end-rhymes. That's Old English they're singing. It's the right poetry for the language!" 

You don't get to hear it done often.

Interesting. Trying to find printed lyrics (I failed at that), I did find some skepticism about it and suspecting it might be AI music. I have no idea, to be honest.
To me, it bears structural resemblance to more Asiatic and Native American musical structures, but I'm no expert to be sure.
