What Was She Doing: The Mediaeval Baebes and "Maiden in the Mor Lay"

Today's random tune, Maiden in the Mor Lay, is performed by The Mediaeval Baebes. The Mediaeval Baebes began in 1996 when a group of friends led by Katherine Blake of Miranda Sex Garden broke into a North London cemetery and sang a capella in flowing white robes and leaf garlands. They soon became an ensemble, and their first album, Salva Nos, shot to number two on the classical charts. The group has since had many incarnations. They sing in an array of obscure and ancient languages, and have placed three albums in the top ten of the classical charts and participated in the BBC's television series The Virgin Queen. Maiden in the Mor Lay is from their 2000 CD Undrentide.
