The Circle - Blackmore's Night

If this song isn't an original of their's, and if there is an older version from somewhere else, I've yet to find it. Either way, great song, nice feel to it. :D

Locked Within the Crystal Ball - Blackmore's Night / Stella Splendens

Another nice medieval song. I don't know all of it yet, and the ending might be a tad off, but here's the general idea:

b b a b g e g a
c b a b g e g a a g e d

b b a b g e g a
c b a b g e g a a g e d e

(Still working on second half)

e e b c# E c# ...

EDIT: That was by ear, and apparently wrong. Here's the proper (more complicated) sheet music: Link

Play Minstrel Play - Blackmore's Night / Tourdion - Pierre Attaingnant

This is such a beautiful, medieval song. Plus, added bonus, it mostly just goes up and down the scale, so it's super easy to play. I learned this by ear and typed it out fast, so there might be mistakes, but that's the general idea.

Ca Ira Opera Song

No idea what this one is called, but it's a lovely theme from the Ca Ira opera by Roger Waters.
