I enjoyed both pieces very much. They were fun and light hearted compared to some of the other songs we’ve listened to and I’m really starting to enjoy listening to polyphonic texture.
I think the words help slightly with the humor in these pieces, but I’ve found that seeing them sing almost adds to the humor more as you can almost see it on their faces.
I don’t think the language was a barrier. Of course it would be nice to understand what they were saying in a language I understood, but I also just enjoy listening to the music and getting to hear it in it’s original language.
I did enjoy watching the singers perform rather than just listening to the song, because again you could see the humor in their faces, rather than just hearing it. They also looked like they were having a lot of fun and were very into that piece.
