about

In the first piece, a beautiful stag is wandering through the village and praying for golden antlers; meanwhile, Maru’s mother is calling her home to eat dinner. The second piece is a drinking song in which the bechars are singing and dancing. ("Bechar" literally translates to bachelor, but has the added connotation of “a man you wouldn’t want your daughter to be around.”)
