For those who don't know the piece: no-one without *superb* pitch and generally stellar voice control could possibly render it even minimally competently, not the way Swarb does it, anyway. When I was thinking `trival' musically, I was thinking that it's got nothing like the complexity and depth of (say) yer average Handel sonata (I've been listening to a lot of them recently). Then again, it *is* `just' folk music. The singing is something else entirely...

That is rubbish. It really isn't very hard in the grand scheme of things. -- Woody www.alienrat.com
