World Tree Music is a journey into love, legend and mystery. A cool rippling stream of organic and electronic sound ... a collage of energetic rhythms; topped
World Tree is called 'Gnostic' folk/classical fusions where our music and songs, both ancient and modern are blended in a melting pot of traditional folk and classical music with rock, blues and Celtic influences.

Story behind the song
World Tree has adapted the lyrics to this ancient Irish ballad and injected musical mood. We played this at our wedding!
Lyrics
We Moved Through The Fayre My love said to me My mother won't mind And my Father won't slight you For your lack of kind Then he stepped close beside me And this he did say It will not be long, love Till our wedding day. He clasped my hand to him As we moved through the Fayre And fondly we wandered Moving here and there We went our way homeward With one star awake As the swans in the evening Move over the lake. The people were saying No two e'er were wed And we loved one another Through bliss and through tears And he smiled as he kissed me In his warming embrace The cold ocean's depth Could not keep us apart I dreamt it last night That my true love came in So softly he entered His feet made no din As he laid close beside me And this he did say It will not be long, love Till our wedding day. * Traditional, re-written by Gretchen Cornwall Arrangement by John Cornwall
