Nick Brightwell's Senior Recital: UWM Fingerstyle Guitar Program The Nine Maidens John Renbourn (b. 1944) "Clarsach" "The Nine Maidens" "The Fiddler" John Renbourn represents a cornerstone of the second British folk revival. Renbourn was first inspired by local guitarist Davey Graham and the music of American folk and blues artists such as Elizabeth Cotton, Big Bill Broonzy, and Huddie Ledbetter. At 17, he finished high school and purchased his first steel string guitar, an archtop, for a "fiver." In 1963-64 he began a working relationship with the late Bert Jansch. That relationship and the influence of Davey Graham caused Renbourn to find his own voice expressing the traditional music of the British Isle through song and composition. The Nine Maidens suite represents Renbourn's understanding of the harmonic and rhythmic idiosyncrasies of that music and was released on an album of the same name in 1986. "Clarsach" is a slow ballad, "The Nine Maidens" is a slip jig in 9/8, and "The Fiddler" is a reel in 2/4. In Cornwall, at the Southern tip of The United Kingdom, lies a manmade rock formation known as The Nine Maidens. These nine megaliths, facing northeast, are spread out over 262 feet and are aligned in a row with an outlying rock 800 yards away known as The Fiddler. Rock formations are common throughout the British Isle, but the existence of The Nine Maidens in Cornwall is curious, as the area boasts of no other formations. Possibly used for Pagan ritual or agricultural calendar purposes, local folklore outlines moral lessons and explains The Nine Maidens' existence. A common explanation suggests they are dormant portals to the underworld and open on particular days of the year so that people may enter or fairies may leave. Folklore suggests that wrongdoers who violate a particular moral lesson are punished by being taken back to the underworld or petrified in place. According to the legend, on one fateful Sabbath, nine maidens were playing the clàrsach, a small Scottish harp. A passing fiddle player caught wind of their merriment and began to play his own music. The maidens were thrown into a trance-like dance that continued into the night, with the fiddler playing more furiously as they progressed. Their actions, however, had not gone unnoticed by the Celtic gods, who forbade dancing on the Sabbath. With the last note of the fiddler's bow, a deity appeared and punished the nine maidens and their musician. They were petrified where they stood, looking to the fiddler, who perhaps knew what their fate was to be all along.
