Annraoi Macaronachas / Macaronic Songs. Language mixing (138* d) RE: MacarĂ³nachas / Macaronic Songs. Language mixi 06 Dec 98


There I go again, repeating myself. I don't know how this happens. I try to compose long stuff offline and then post it online. But why the repetition ?? By the way, the origin of "macaronic" seems to stem from a mediaeval Italian practioner called Teofilo Folengo who likened this form of verse to macaroni. I don't think it really matters so long as we all know what we're talking about. Philippa, you mentioned a Scots Gaelic song about a Highlander in Glasgow. This sounds exactly what I'm looking for. Any chance of the words (+ Tune) ?
