Hervé Quefféléant’s 1990 harp composition “Tristan hag Iseult” is based on the the age old story about how King Mark of Cornwall sends his knight, Tristan, to Ireland to fetch the fetching (pun intended) Princess Iseult, who Mark is to marry. She and Tristan drink a love potion by mistake and fall instantly in love. Nevertheless Tristan brings Iseult to King Mark, who marries her. Tristan leaves for Brittany and marries another woman of the same name. Later he is mortally wounded, and only the original Iseult can cure him. She leaves to do so, but Tristan's jealous wife tells him she's not coming. He dies believing she's not coming, and a few minutes later she does arrive, but dies of grief at his side. They are buried together, and two trees grow from their graves, intertwining their branches so they can never be pulled apart.
