Thread Name: ADD: Song for the Mira (Allister MacGillivray)^^^
Subject: RE: Song for the Mira
George, Thanks for the French lyrics.

The way I have heard the song sung, it seems to have a bridge (used between verses 2 and 3 and again between 4 and 5), not a chorus. I say that because the song ends on the verse (in which the melody is resolved).

I have a friend who ends the song on "...Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings," and even he always has a look on his face that says "This is kind of a funny place in the melody to end a song."

And Mary, thanks for clarifying that "prophets/princes" thing.
