This song was inspired by the "dancing mania", a mysterious phenomenon of Medieval Europe. Groups of people started dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time, and many danced until they collapsed. The title of the song is the German name of this dancing mania. I aimed to compose a song which sounds on the surface like a party tune, but with a vague atmosphere of fear underneath. Basically what one would feel if they realized their bodies would not stop dancing and they lost all control over their limbs.
The song kind of developed a Balkan and Slavic Medieval character, as I've included trills and melodic sequences that touch on harmonic minor.
Edit: I realized the dog is a bit too creepy.^^ I changed the thumbnail, but sadly I can't change the picture inside the video anymore...

![Celtic Fairy Tale Music - Elethâela
I wanted to make a very delicate harp-and-flute song that evokes a classic fairy tale atmosphere. Elethâela is a female Inra name (the language I created) which translates into soul of the forest, or forest soul, from Eleth (soul) and Thael (forest).
This next part is only for serious language and Fantasy geeks^^, I just felt like it would be fun to share some Inra language stuff:
Without knowledge of the intended meaning the name Elethâela is also readable as gleaming/shining forest, since the name swallows one of the otherwise double th, making it identical to ele- + Thael, where ele- is the stem of shine/gleam. The stem ele- is also related to the word Eleth (soul), as el-[e] is the proto-Inra root describing that which houses or emits light, purity, or healing warmth, from which both words originate. Even further, the name can also be read as soul + star, from Eleth + Aelô, however in this case a more common form would be Aêletha. As a male form this would be Aêlethas, more rarely Aeleth, since Aeleth is synonymous with the Inra word for shooting star, from Aelô + locative suffix (-eth) (elative in this case). It is also believed, but not fully proven, that the word Aelô (star) is connected to the proto-Inra root el-[e] as well, as an early fusion of -el-, the archaic noun ending -o/ô, and (a-) from aâni (remote), so roughly far-off shining/gleaming [thing]. So anyway, Elethâela is one of those names the Inra created with a certain amount of intentional ambiguity, with multiple possible meanings. Anyone who hears this name as a native Inra speaker will instantly be hit with all the above meanings and symbols at once, creating a complex and beautiful palette of impressions inside their mind.
I could ramble on about this forever, but I think thats enough for today.^^ I thought its also probably nice for those to whom this sort of thing is important to know that my Fantasy names are something I work very hard to make as real as I possibly can. Inra is something I have now worked on for 15 years, and it basically functions like any proper real-world language, you can study and use it like you would with Spanish or Japanese etc.
