* Blackmore's Night is a neo-medieval, folk rock group with lyrical themes evocative of Ren Faires and MedievalEuropeanFantasy .
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsQgcNI8Xqg Locked Within A Crystal Ball]]" uses the rhythm of the 14th century devotional song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lw8nH6dQIo Stella Splendens]]" but punches it up with electric guitars, giving it a darker atmosphere. All while keeping the medieval instrumental feel.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttqnz-xnwWM Under a Violet Moon]]" starts off as a soft acoustic melody that then transitions into a energetic drinking song, complete with rhythmic clapping.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F78oo2_Ggg0 Village Lanterne]]" is a slow, mournful ballad about those who journey for a greater cause.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w1cvsvOaw4 Village on the Sand]]" is what the group describes as "our PirateSong". And it fits perfectly with a lively electric guitar and a pounding beat that makes you want to dance.

* Russian Orthodox music also deserves a mention, for several reasons. One, there is a tradition of Oktavists. They are like a ''BassoProfondo'', except even lower. Two, it includes full voicing, including regular tenors, baritones, bass-baritones, basses, and bassos profondos, in addition to the Oktavists. HOWEVER, the Oktavist, of which there is usually only a small number singing or in the building, will often be louder and easier to hear than any of the other singers. Perhaps is this nowhere more evident than in the work of the late Vladimir Pasjukov, and, perhaps, no song shows this as much as [[https://youtu.be/sN4TbjI4F74 "Abandon Me Not In My Old Age"]]. This performance in particular is especially awesome, as this song is normally sung by two or three oktavists. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Pasjukov is not backed up by any other Oktavists or any amplification. THAT IS ALL HIM.]] As one of the deepest-voiced oktavists, and one of the deepest-voiced men of all time, his passing is one that, unfortunately, passed under the radar. For a man who can sing so powerfully and beautifully not to be better-known in the west is truly [[TearJerker sad]].
