Midnight Never Come - Soundtrack
This is the music I put together for the novel. You can find a partial mix of it posted on iTunes, but as not all the tracks are available there, it's very incomplete.
The track titles are designed to spoil as little as possible, but still, you have been warned.

In the places where I did not use the full song, the selections are as follows.
From "Coronation Banquet," which has several distinct parts in it, I used the last segment (beginning with the drumbeats) for Elizabeth, and the longest segment, the stately part, for the mortal court.
From "La Bas - Song of the Drowned," I used the latter part, with Lisa Gerrard's vocals.
From "Reine la Belle," I cut the end of the song, where it becomes distinctly louder. The same goes for "All Hallow's Eve Ball."
From "Hammersmith," I used the opening four minutes or so -- which Holst apparently wrote to represent the Thames. The recording in question is from my high school band in concert, which is why I don't list an album for it.
From "The Sheriff and His Witch," I used the dark part, not the bright part at the beginning.
