Ken Theriot is a Texas Singer/Songwriter performing his brand of medieval-tinged Acoustic Pop-Folk. The songs are often so catchy that people have complained they can't get the tunes out of their heads. He has released six albums, including “Human History," which contains the songs "Agincourt" and "Band of Brothers," which have become standards in the medieval re-creation group, The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). More recent albums include the Christmas album, The Gifts of Midwinter (Ken & Lisa Theriot) and "Outlaws and Bystanders.
In addition to the Acoustic Pop-Folk that Ken Theriot records and performs, he also composes music in many other different genres which include Electronic, Rock, Country, Celtic, Christmas, and Holiday. His music is a mix of songs with and without vocals that includes lots of vocal harmonies. Ken's instrumental music is a mix of short cues/loops and longer atmospheric pieces, all of which are perfect for film and video.
"O Holy Night" in the original French, far superior to the English translation, which fails to capture the emotional transition of the Christmas Midnight Mass from awestruck to joyous. The initial French chorus asks the people to kneel, but the second tells them to stand up and rejoice. Mixed Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Vocals
Original Christmas song, a new addition to the traditional rollicking wassail songs of Yuletide. Funny, catchy and lots of vocal harmony. Musicians have never had any trouble begging for booze! An infectious chorus and humorous holiday cheer! Mixed Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Acoustic
Choral Christmas carol from medieval times - 1582, sung in 4-part harmony and in Latin. The title means "rejoice." This version adds drums and syncopated rhythm to make it more upbeat than it already is. This song was made popular in the 20th century by the group Steeleye Span. Mixed Vocals, Christmas, Xmas Acapella
"March of the Three Kings" The original Occitan/Provençal lyrics for this carol are attributed to René, Comte d'Anjou et de Provence, Duke of Lorraine and King of Sicily (1408-80), famous for his “the Book of Love.” The French translation is attributed to Joseph Domergue, a French curate (d. 1729). Male Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Vocals
The "Boar's Head Carol" is a 15th c. English Yule song that describes the tradition of serving a boar's head at a winter feast.

Mixed Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Vocals
A lovely lullaby-like medieval song, a conversation between the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. “This endris night” is roughly “the other night.” Even divine babies want to be rocked by their mother and sung to sleep. Mixed Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Vocals
Popular medieval Latin hymn beginning, "resounding now the calls of children." The underlying song is a 12th century hymn to Saint Nicholas (“Intonent hodie, voces ecclesiae”) which was at some point converted to this far more popular song associated with the Feast of the Holy Innocents. Mixed Vocals, Christmas, Christmas Vocals
From a manuscript circa 1500, Lully, Lulley / Corpus Christi Carol was sung for the feast honoring Christ's body, which falls in May/June, and was later adapted to Christmas as Down in Yon Forest.
