[MR] Royal Bard Competition at 12th Night

[William Fleming via Atlantia]

My Lords and Ladies, Most Worthy Peers, and dearest cousins,

Once more the time has come to select those who will serve as Royal Bards
for Their Majesties and Their successors.  At the celebration of Twelfth
Night a competition will be held and Lord Gideon, the Bard of the South,
and I encourage all bards to come and compete.  The competition will be
comprised of three rounds.

In the first and second round competitors should perform pieces in
different modes.  For example, if a story is performed in the first round,
the bard should perform a song, instrumental piece, poem, or some-such for
the second round.  One of the pieces performed in the first two rounds must
be period, documentation should be provided.  Extra consideration shall be
given to bards who perform original compositions in addition to the period
piece.

Those bards who are selected for the final round shall perform for Their
Majesties and the populace during feast.

Should you have any questions, concerning the competition, appropriate
pieces, etc., please feel free to contact me.

Your servant, if you would have me,

Olaugh Ruaidhri an Cu (Bard of the North)
