92nd Street Y @ YouTube: Beowulf: The Epic in Performance - Benjamin Bagby, voice and medieval harp [video - Grendel attacks mead hall at 1:08:30]
evoking an entire ancient world with just voice and six-string harp

Ruth Franklin: A “Beowulf” for Our Moment
Grendel’s mother,
warrior-woman, outlaw, meditated on misery. . . .
carried on a wave of wrath, crazed with sorrow,
looking for someone to slay, someone to pay in pain
for her heart’s loss

Oooh, that's a neat take, and I hope there are more people taking up the incitation to critique and expand on what's been pout in that translation to talk in a wider way about what it does well and where it comes up short.
