Suibhan Women's Song Circle II (11) RE: Women's Song Circle II 08 Oct 97


One of my favorite songs on one of my favorite CDs (Celtic Mouth Music, Ellipsis Arts) is "Marie Louise," which tells the usual story of a girl who disguises herself as a man to join the army and be at her lover's side. After seven years, upon their return, she reveals her identity. This is a Breton song and is a call and response song, or kan ha diskan. I have never heard any other songs like this, does anyone know of any? I think it would be alot of fun to sing, but I have never attempted it.

Anyway, how could a girl conceal her identity from someone who knows her well for seven years???? He must be a moron! (This is not addressed in the song.) I couldn't fool my husband for 15 seconds!

Sorry this is not very well written, but it's late and I have to type everything with a cat in my lap.
