Blackmore’s Night的最终组成,跟Blackmore以前的两个乐队是密不可分的。1993年Deep Purple的专辑《The Battle Rages On》成绩相当糟糕,Blackmore伤心之余退出了Deep Purple。随后在1995年的《Stranger in Us All》中,Blackmore运用了高科技电子乐使得Rainbow再次充满活力。这时,Night已经参与到了四首歌的歌词创作中来。Blackmore其实不想再把这些作品称之为Rainbow的作品,然而唱片公司的上层却固执的坚持只有使用Rainbow的乐团名字,唱片才可能在市场上获得更大的销售量。在Stranger in Us All之后,文艺复兴情结再次加深,Blackmore开始在家大量地练习这些多年来他深爱的但一直没有真正练习过的中世纪旋律,并下决心出这样的专辑,而Night也开始在旁边伴着唱起来。这些天真无邪而又不正规的即兴动机正是Blackmore’s Night的萌芽。

Dancing to the feel of the drum
Leave this world behind
We’ll have a drink and toast to ourselves
Under **iolet moon
Tudor Rose with her hair in curls
Will make you turn and stare
Try to steal a kiss at the bridge
Under **iolet moon
*
Raise your hats and your glasses too
We will dance the whole night through
We’re going back to a time we knew
Under **iolet moon
Cheers to the Knights and days of old
The beggars and the thieves living in an enchanted wood
Under **iolet moon
Fortuneteller, what do you see
Future in a card
Share your secrets, tell them to me
Under **iolet moon
(*)
Close your eyes
And lose yourself in a medieval mood
Taste the treasures and sing the tunes
Under **iolet moon
Tis my delight on a shiny night
The seasons of a year
To keep the lanterns burning bright
Under **iolet moon (*)
