- The video was taken on an iPhone with no effects in the incredible refectory of Mont-Saint-Michel in France. The sound is simply incredible.

The political seeps in around the edges in this Ewan MacColl song about the coming of winter, or the "Terror Time," as it was known by the Scottish Travelers he worked with while writing his 1964 album, The Traveling People. For us, it brings to mind for us all those who go without a permanent home.
The Terror Time
By Ewan MacColl
Arranged by Windborne
Featured on our album OF HARD TIMES & HARMONY www.windbornesingers.com/prod...
The heather will fade and the bracken will die
Streams will run cold and clear.
And the small birds will be going,
And it’s then that you will be knowing
That the Terror Time is near.
Where will you turn now and where will you bide
Now that the work’s all done?
For the farmer doesn’t need you
And the Council will not heed you,
And the Terror Time has come.
The woods give no shelter, and the trees are all bare
Snow’s falling all around.
And the children they are crying
For the bed on which they are lying
Is frozen to the ground.
The frost won’t lift and the stove won’t draw,
There’s ice in the water churn,
In the mud and snow you’re sloshing
Trying to do your bit of washing
And the kindling won’t burn.
When you need the warmth of your own human kind,
You pull near a town, but then
They say, the sight of you’s offending,
And the police they are sending…
And you’re on the road again.

These folks should be headlining every folk music festival.
Please do a full CD of this type of music...haunting, beautiful and somehow bringing peace. The echoes in the church lend such power to your voices.
Can't stop playing this! 😮
Stunning.
Thank you, Ewan MacColl. This is so appropriate for our 2024.
Music is the language of the heart... loved your Stabat Mater!
If I had been lucky enough to listen to you there I would’ve cried. Such a beautiful song so beautifully sung.
Dear Lord, you guys are amazing! Never stop singing
My heart is stopped , hurting & joyous @ the same time !
This just gets rid of like 95% of my anxiety. This is amazing.
Found you from tiktok! Beautiful!
The husband and wife in the background had me 🥺
Vibration and sound lifted up as above so below .....whenever two or more are gathered in my name....their is love , God is love
Enya, Pentatonix and ABBA look out. Haunting and spine chilling harmonies. Excellent work!
You were so fortunate as singing is not normally permitted. Who in their right mind would have stopped you - thank you for taking the time and love
Wow a timely time for me to find this...as Texas freezes over
Hello, I found your beautiful voices on the first nearly-warm day after 3 weeks of deadly Terror Time cold. We were the coldest place on earth, but today I saw robins again, and tonight, I found you. Tomorrow promises to be as warm as +2c, and I'm not ungrateful for it either.
Some things, like the Terror Time, are just meant to be. For Recusants, for Travelers, for me, and also thee. I'm so very grateful for the video you shared, and I'm glad at heart to have found you at the right time.
Your words are beautiful.
Nice to kneel down! Beautiful!
My goodness this is beautiful.
Numinous. Would give anything to hear Windborne sing some Morten Lauridsen.
I used to listen to a lot of Lauridesen! Such good stuff
Every time I listen to this it brings tears to my eyes. It's so beautiful I'm almost speechless. Thank you!
The Terror Time is my favourite Ewan Maccoll song. This is a beautiful rendition. Thankyou.
Merci 🥰
Those Over-fucking-Tones are... Out of this world!
A beautiful sound!
Thanks so much! Sorry we missed it when you originally commented, but we're glad to see it now!
breathtaking rendition of a serious wonderful song. Ewan would have approved..
This is the most beautiful song with terror in the title that Ive ever heard.
Wish I could have heard this in person. Beautiful!
Blessed Divine In Sound!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Beautiful! Been there and it is a spectacular place to sing! I just wish I had had three other willing partners when I was there a few years ago!
Thanks so much! We're so glad you're enjoying the song, and sorry we missed your comment when you made it! Glad to be seeing it now.
The tenor at 4:00!!! 🤌🏻 so good!!
the only version i’ve known of for nearly 40
years is the one by the tannahill weavers. i somehow came across this version and i can’t stop listening to it. the vocal slides by lynn at 2:47 and 2:51 are absolutely gorgeous
Those lyrics! O my heart, and the music too.
Beautifully haunting, like voices that reach out from the past. Performing there in the Cathedral of Mont Saint Michael your voices have such depth and soul. I am humble to tiers. I hope that I may acquire your CD's some day, and listen to the beauty of your harmonics. A gift from God. Thank you Windborne.
Thank you so much!! We are honored that our music moved you. If you would like our CDs, they are available at our website www.windbornesingers.com and click on “Store” 🙏🏻
love this song... What a beautiful rendition.
Beautiful.
Excellent!!!
Beautiful …uplifting and emotional
So beautiful, yet so sad 🥺
meraviglioso
I, too, would absolutely buy a “record” in any format of this type of music. For now I save these in a folder and listen when I need a calm down time.
Goose-pimple, the coineagh. Thank you
Wow, we're so honored that you watched our video of Ewan's song! Sorry we are so late in replying--somehow we missed your comment when you first made it. Thank you for listening, and for all that you do! We are big fans!!
simply beautiful
genius 🙏
I am a new fan. I have all the Noelle Sing We Clear albums your dad made, Ms. Breunig. Great big fan of John and Tony. I just finished listening to Recollections/revolutions CD borrowed from a friend who got to go to the Berkeley concert recently. I couldn't go as I no longer can drive at night. I love that you included "Few Days" from the CA gold rush and "Which side are you on?" one of the early union songs and the tune to Johnny O Braideslee with new words. It is originally pretty radical about a poacher in the king's forest. Those songs were highly political in the 18rh century-where poachers were hanged, transported to the colonies or imprisoned. Ewan Mccall recorded some ofthese songs on one of his many ballad albums. I would like the lyrics and liner notes for Recollctions/Revolutions but they are not available on the website yet.
Breathtaking ❤
If he could see the world 60 years after he wrote this song, rather than travelers fearing for winter we have hundreds of millions in India, Iran, Pakistan, the Pacific Islands, Africa...all fearing for unrelenting heat of summer thanks to the climate-breakdown. Maybe he wouldn't be surprised, it's the rich and their puppets driving this crisis now as it was then.
C'est très beau
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Feels so peaceful so beautiful❤
Absolutely sublime!
Beautiful. Would love a sportify album.
Wow.
i'm in tears
Incredible! Love this 😍
I'd love to do a gonging there. Maybe after Covid leaves us. Stephan
Beautifully done.
Thank you, Lauri B. for letting me know about this recording! 🥰
We’re so glad you’re enjoying it!
Perfection exist!
Tjank you
Feels like Texas in 2021, beautiful and heartrending
Oof, so true. We're watching fully preventable harm happen to so many people
🙏🏼💫💕
Wow, so beautifully sung 🥰
Is the score available to buy anywhere? Would love to perform this!
i swear i hear this song in one movie lot of years ago but i dont know what movie was
Any Hildegard of Bingen?
You have registered your channel. I support you.🔔🤝
Thank you so much! Hope you're enjoying all the videos!
How did the other tourists react when you had finished singing? (I see that two ladies stuck around for the second song)
They were appreciative for the song... it was a pretty magical moment for all of us :)
That is amazing, but what happened to The Grey Funnel line you recorded in the church as well, I just can't find it now.
It’s on Patreon, and so you can find it through there!
Will there be these songs on Spotify with the acoustic of buildings such as this
i really want to learn this piece. is there anywhere you found the sheet music or did you learn it by ear
This is the arrangement that we wrote! (Melody by Ewan MacColl) we don’t have sheet music published yet but when we do it’ll be on our website www.windbornesingers.com in our online store. Thanks so much for your support!
@@WindborneSingers thank you! please let me know when it’s available! you guys are so amazingly talented
Someone might have already asked but what is that sound at 2:16 and 2:46?
It’s birds outside!
Śpiewając pieśni kościelne w świątyni trzeba ręce wyjąć z kieszeni.Okazujemy w ten sposób szacunek należny Bogu i świętemu miejscu.Śpiew przepiękny ☀️
.
This is not the church.
imagine the halo theme song in there
wow. .. my face is leaking.
This has been haunting me all day. Such a heartfelt rendition, perfectly expressive of the poetry in my opinion. And your choice of performance venue reminds me that this incredible lack of humanity take place in the sight of a seemingly uncaring God, by self-professed Christians. And has been going on for centuries.
Thank you for your beautiful words. Somehow we missed your comment when you made it, but we are so glad to see it now!
Sadly, any lack of ‘humanity’, is just that: a deficiency in humans. Which, even more sadly, afflicts a great many (but fortunately not all) humans; Both those of the self-professing Christian variety and all other varieties. Why are the choices we make the responsibility of God? Our actions are the product of our free will and choice. When we see good ones made, we say well done to our humanity. When we see bad ones made, we say where is God to intervene (and suddenly, even those who don’t profess to believe in Him tend to demand His intervention).
👏👏👏👏
Have you guys ever heard or performed any Orthodox Christian hymns?
The Orthodox church made extensive use of polyphonic singing.
do over with a legit microphone please lol
You were so fortunate as singing is not normally permitted. Who in their right mind would have stopped you - thank you for taking the time and love
