The first canto of Beowulf sung

I have decided to upload a sung version of my translation of the first canto of Beowulf which deals with the story of Shild Sheeving. The purpose is not to impress people with my talent. I am well aware of my own limitations. It is merely to illustrate the fact that all great poetry contains music and that Beowulf is a great poem and not merely an important historical literary relic of the West Saxon language of Anglo-Saxon England.
