This is my setting of the poem “Erlkönig” by Goethe. The most famous setting is by Schubert. Mine is simpler, more folky. This version was recorded in 1968 at Vanguard in New York.
The legend behind “Erlkönig” is believed to be Danish in origin and derives from ellekonge or elverkonge meaning “King of the Elves” in Danish folklore. Goethe’s poem takes it name and story from earlier tellings of the mythic tale.
In the original Scandinavian version of the tale, the antagonist was the Erlkönig's daughter rather than the Erlkönig himself; the female elves or Danish elvermøer sought to ensnare human beings to satisfy their desire, jealousy or lust for revenge.
The tuning is DADGAD which is a very common tuning for Irish and Celtic tunes, especially accompanying fiddles which often play in the keys of D or A. With modal tunings, there is the additional attribute of chords without the third so that the harmony isn’t defined as major or minor.
On this track from my Vanguard album, you'll hear Dick Rosmini and Bruce Langhorne playing guitars along with my guitar part, and Russ Savakus on bass.
