Dear e-friends,
I have just posted Lied #89 for your perusal and delectation. Like the
previous item it is an adaptation of Ukrainian folk material. The synopsis
of the song: It describes a conversation between an owl and a young widow.
The owl tells the woman to tend to her children without tears, for he knows
her husband well, they always dine and sup together. Every day he eats the
man's liver and and every evening he drinks his eyes.
It is transposed down a 3rd to get it into the lute range. Complete lyrics
on demand.
