You know the song 12 Days of Christmas? Well, I didn’t know other cumulative songs other than that one! So I went on Wikipedia<\/a> and discovered two Irish cumulative songs and turns out Yiddish folk music contains lots of cumulative songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So doing this for the sake of Esther 2:13<\/strong> – “Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the song starts off like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time has come
To spend a night with the king
Choose wise__ly
The artifacts you wish to bring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and ends like this (maybe Esther sings this)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My night with the king
This I shall bring
Isn\u2019t much, but from my heart
comes this offering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in between, there are lots of items, sung in a cumulative song manner. However, instead of adding 1 item at a time, melodically-wise, it’s better to add 3 items at a time. So right now I am trying to decide how many items there needs to be in total, but here are some of the items so far, in the notebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden<\/td>Earrings<\/td><\/tr>
Silver<\/td>Necklaces<\/td><\/tr>
Blushing<\/td>Powder<\/td><\/tr>
Diamond<\/td>Hairpins<\/td><\/tr>
Purple<\/td>Pendant<\/td><\/tr>
Yellow<\/td>Bangles<\/td><\/tr>
Rainbow<\/td>Lipstick<\/td><\/tr>
Lovely<\/td>Essence<\/td><\/tr>
Priceless<\/td>Flowers<\/td><\/tr>
Costly<\/td>Bracelets<\/td><\/tr>
Fragrant<\/td>Lilies<\/td><\/tr>
Polished<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
Charming<\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So that’s it for now and can’t wait to finish this song which will be really fun to sing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
