The Musica Choir : Boy or Girl?


Boy or Girl?
Song Name
Greeting at the cross-roads
Boy or girl?
Mari spoiled by the soldiers
What was it that me created?
Mourning for her birth
The groom will not alight until he has been greeted
As the groom removes his gear, a choir of maidens salutes him and his entourage
The women sing a song of thanksgiving as the groom sits down at table
The choir of maidens wonders at what took the groom so long
The Leader
The Service
The Wise
The Office
The Moral
The Collaboboration
The Tree of Knowledge
The Compasion
The Roundelay
Pakko, boy of wicked lineage
Would have frozen Ahti also
You have more than you can do
Go and do some magic freezing
And now I shall trace your lineage
Then you rode along the fences
Now that you have grown so big
To the way-back fields of Northland
Let us make a firm agreement
