Crown of Ash and Ember

male vocals strong medieval Solo male vocals carrying a bold chant-like main melody sung almost like a wordless incantation on open vowels and ancient-sounding syllables. Rich resonant baritone on a single unaccompanied line shaping an epic arc: starting low and quiet then climbing into a powerful ringing mid-register peak before tapering into a haunting unresolved cadence. Occasional held notes and small ornamental turns give a medieval fantasy flavor and a noble ominous weight.
