The Bard-Brain Replacement Project: Part One (Spain)

[minstrlmummr]

 When I realized this week that I could make it to Twelfth Night,  I saw the Aragon/Spanish theme in the event announcement.     While the repeated (albeit historically-accurate)  mention of  "celebrating having made Spain a Christian nation" made me a little queasy,  I also realized this might be a good opportunity to trot out the Spanish songs I'd collected....Oh...wait...

Fortunately,   shalmestere  pointed me towards the Choral Public Domain Library http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page  several years ago, and they had the songs, the tunes of which I knew by heart but not so much on the words.

I now have several copies of:

Ay Triste Que Vengo
Calabaza No Se Buen Amor
Hoy Comamos Y Bebamos 
Mas Vale Trocar
Pase El Agoa
So Ell Enzina  (For which I wrote English lyrics)
Una Sanosa Porfia (Which inspired/supplied the original melody for another song  8)

If anyone is going to be at Twelfth Night, I have copies to share.

Have fun at Twelfth Night! Wish I could go, but I can't. The music sounds interesting. I'm glad you're going to be able to replace some of the stuff you lost. [grrrrrr]

Safe journeys.

eeeeee! Bring to Birka too, please? I love "Oy Comamos" and "Pase El Agoa," and I bet the others would be fun as well.
