Alcuin was a scholar, clergyman, poet, and teacher from York. He was born around 735 and became the student of Archbishop Ecgbert at York. At the invitation of Charlemagne, he became a leading scholar and teacher at the Carolingian court. He was considered to be one of the most important intellectual architects of the Carolingian Renaissance.
This is a new track (part of an October 2023 update) which will also be featured on the forthcoming 'EboRock'em' 4 track EP.
lyrics
Alcuin Of York (Lyrics and Music Tim Hunter)
Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
Old Wine
Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
Old Wine
In the morning, at the height of my powers
I sowed the seed in Britain
Now in the evening when my blood is growin' cold
I'm still sowing in France
Hoping both will grow, by the grace of God
Giving some the honey of the Holy Scriptures
Making others drunk on The Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
He became a scholar at the Carolingian Court
Invited by Charlemagne
He became famous for his teachings and his thoughts
Soon everyone knew his name
Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York
Eternal Light, shine into our hearts, deliver us from evil.
Eternal Power, be our support,scatter the darkness and ignorance.
Care for the soul more than the body,
The former remains, the latter will perish.
Let us drink The Old Wine Of Ancient Learning
He became a scholar at the Carolingian Court
Invited by Charlemagne
He became famous for his teachings and his thoughts
Soon everyone knew his name
Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York
Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York, Alcuin Of York
Alcuin Of York
