about

The Mordiford Dragon was a notorious creature that lived in the woods outside the village of Mordiford, Herefordshire.

The creature was raised from infancy by a young girl called Maud. She did this in secrecy having been told by her parents to return the creature to where she had found it (for it would surely bring the village bad luck!). As she nurtured the creature with milk, it grew large, and so did its appetite for flesh...

"This is the true effigies of the strange
Prodigious monster which out of the woods did range..."

This is the first part of the story of the Mordiford Dragon set to music. Written with 8-bit software with a few effects added.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
