Programme notes
Mare Majje means My Husband in Vastese, the dialect that is only spoken in the town of Vasto. Vasto is a town on the Adriatic coast in the region of southern Abruzzo, Italy. Lamberto Pietropoli harmonized. In this poignant folksong, which probably dates from the 8th c., a widow expresses her feelings for her deceased husband.
