The High Crusade<\/i> (Traditional) \u2014 Music for the good<\/em> movie that hasn’t yet been made of Poul Anderson’s novel of space travel in the 14th century, using melodies from the 13th and 15th centuries.
\nhttp:\/\/shuffly.net\/mpthree\/03%20The%20High%20Crusade.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n

The Royal Nonesuch<\/i> (Traditional) \u2014 A brutal arrangement of the most annoying dance tune ever notated.
\nhttp:\/\/shuffly.net\/mpthree\/04%20The%20Royal%20Nonesuch.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n

Scotland the Brave<\/i> (Traditional) \u2014 Which are worse, bagpipes or synthesizers? All the sounds except the percussion are the Pro-53, an emulation of the Sequential Circuits’ Prophet 5.
\nhttp:\/\/shuffly.net\/mpthree\/05%20Scotland%20the%20Brave.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n

The Gravel Walk<\/i> (Traditional) \u2014 A tune that was once Irish.

Cherokee Star<\/i> (Cherokee Shuffle\/Eagle Dance for Victory<\/em>) (Traditional) \u2014 If there are space cowboys, then there must also be space Indians. A paleface fiddle tune followed by a Cherokee dance melody.

Allegro Mooso<\/i> (McClane) \u2014 Moose music: fun with the whole-tone scale and odd meters.
\nhttp:\/\/shuffly.net\/mpthree\/11%20Allegro%20Mooso.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n

Twelve Toes<\/i> (McClane) \u2014 Dodecaphony for beginners.

Radio-Ready Trousers<\/i> (McClane) \u2014 Approaching the punk aesthetic from the other side; music so intellectual it’s stupid.

Far from Kechi<\/i> (McClane) \u2014 Originally intended to be part of the Armadillo<\/em> project, but the tune had other ideas.
