Daoine Sidhe

Inspired by the book: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. There's a page of this elsewhere on the site, but as I'm testing the blog I'll post it here too.

This one owes a little to the Scherzo movement of Beethoven's 9th, which is quite astonishingly presumptuous, if I let myself think about it. That particular pinnacle of human achievement was written five years after the end of the events of the novel, but it evokes (to me) a horseback charge across an English field, perhaps with the Faerie host mounted. Also, A Clockwork Orange!
