Contest: Myth and Music

[alanajoli]

Inspired by one of the Muse posts in the first contest, I started thinking about music and the way that it relates to stories. But before I give my account on that, I'm making it up to you. Tell me about myth and music, fairy stories and music, or any assortment thereof.

In honor of such a vague contest, there are two prizes: a promo CD with two Common Shiner songs (in its original concert packaging) and a copy of The Orange Fairy Book.





Possible bonus points if you can relate the two prizes in your post. :)

Myth and fairy stories were never part of my music mainline, which I used for different things, but I look forward to reading what you have to say about it!

Ooh, cool idea! And neat prizes! Should we give answers here or in our own journals, or is either okay?

Oh, great idea! Either is fine, but if you decide to do your own entry, throw the link here so I don't miss it.

(...and then I didn't manage in the end after all :-( I apologize! Sometimes I overestimate the things I can do. I'll still think on the topic, though, and share my thoughts when [if] they get coherent!)

If you do it by Friday, it's still a contest entry. Just sayin'. :)
