Scarborough Fair - Harp Twins, Camille and Kennerly #Video

“Scarborough Fair” is an English folk song from the Middle Ages. We arranged this song years ago for harp duet, but we wanted to re-arrange it for harp duet as well as include all the lyrics. We don’t think we ever knew the true story behind the song because every artist we have every heard seems to sing only a couple of verses, which obscures the original meaning of the song. So, we included ALL of the original verses, and then decided to switch back and forth between the “male” and “female” perspectives. If you listen to the lyrics, the lovers are each giving the other a long, long, series of impossible tasks to “prove” their love… A little passive aggressive! Lol, x2 Some of the terms and references are antiquated, but we think that even listeners today can understand the story. Because we included all of the lyrics, our arrangement is quite long. However, you will hear – perhaps for the first time – the entire story of the lovers in “Scarborough Fair”! Plus, we had the opportunity to film at a real castle - the only castle in the world built by only one man: The Bettendorf Castle! We hope that our interpretation will grip your imagination and sweep you away to a mysterious fair in the Middle Ages.
