8 | Valentine: Love from 'Robin Hood'

The music starts at 8:57. Alan-a-Dale was the narrator in the movie, and his character was based on the medieval troubadours. These were poet-musicians during the medieval period-the ancestor of our folk songs today. Popular during the 11th to 13th century, they roamed southern France and Northern Italy singing intricate lyrical poetry, often with complex rhyme and meter. The subjects of the songs usually involved courtly love or chivalry.  The song form was highly poetic, with several Arabic-Muslim, German, and French influences. It was also monophonic, meaning that it was a single melody unaccompanied by other harmony, often composed by the troubadour himself. The most popular and recognized genre of troubadour music was called the Canso, or love song.

The oldest instrument Troubadours used was the human voice. They supported it with various flutes and neck-stringed instruments. Guitars were common in Spain, while harps and lyres were regularly used in Britain and Scandanavia.

These traveling minstrels entertained kings and royalty,  as well as lords and nobles. Some knights and nobles became troubadours when they joined the crusades. The most common and famous of the traveling singing story-tellers were the Minstrels from France and the Minnesingers from Germany. The troubadours eventually became an elite group called the Trouveres.

Originally sung by Nancy Adams and written by Floyd Huddleston and George Bruns, the song was nominated for best original song at the 46th Academy Awards.

I mostly just enjoy the message of the song, that when Life is done, Love is not.

7 | Catch a Falling Star

The music starts at 9:05.

Fun fact:
Shooting stars are also flowers. They are members of the North American primrose family and come in white, pink, and purple flowers.

My grandma, dad, and brother made this song very special to me. I hope you enjoy it.

6 | Be Still My Soul

The music starts at 6:35.

1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to thy God to order and provide;
in ev'ry change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
to guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice, who ruled them while He dwelt below.

3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
and all is darkened in the veil of tears,
then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
from His own fullness all He takes away.

4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

5 | Stand By Me

The music starts at 4:35

Stand By Me by Ben E. King

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me
