Original

My musical setting for Keats's La Belle Dame Sans Merci. This version has a harp accompaniment, though the first few stanzas are a cappella. The accompaniment is by way of example. other instruments could be used, or the song could be sung a cappella. There is an a cappella version, with some slight differences in the melody, available. see External Web Links below. Flute used in this sound file to simulate voice. written for female voice, though I suppose it could also be sung by male tenor. I may have a slightly revised version of the accompanied version soon. Lyrics below.
