- Abstract
- en_US This booklet continues Cantata's engagement with Aesop, marked now by the mp3 available online by contrast with a disc earlier published with the book. The mp3 consists of not just the music but the whole booklet. Music by Erik Koskinen. The lyrics and music are also printed at the end of the book. The musical pattern is set by the song "I've Been Working on the Railroad." Readers are invited to sing along. Instead of an ancient god like Mercury, we have here a "magical spirit," imaged here as a stream of water with a head like a drop of water. Aesop at the booklet's beginning frames the story by saying that the woodcutter has a choice, whether to be honest or not. "For your honesty, you can keep all three." The key refrain is "Rewards will come by and by." Quatrains and sextets offer rhymes at their halfway and finishing points.
