| Chinon/Eleanor�s Arrival  performed by  John Barry  () 
 
 
 
 This song comes from the stellar soundtrack to 1968 film "The Lion in Winter," my first outing w/J. Barry.  Wow.  The whole album edged out all rock music at parties.  This song has a lovely rocking boat-on-water undercurrent to it (Queen Eleanor is being rowed upriver in a barge), with soaring turns-taking female /male voices singing in Latin.  It has a little, quiet horn bridge to it, but then the waves of sound come back and die out.  Gorgeous.  Defintely a winter-feel album (the story takes place at Christmas, too). |
