Description: My setting for Poe's poem Eldorado. The melody is my arrangement of the traditional Scots ballad The Dowie Dens o' Yarrow, which exists in many versions, none of which I've seen or heard is exactly like mine. Female synth la-la voice used for vocal.

The lyrics are in the .pdf score, but for convenience I give them below:

English.png English text

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"
 
"Over the Mountains Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
