[MR] TRM Pennsic request - Battle song

[Rorik Fredericsson]

I love the song. However, even though I've been playing it for a long
while now the words don't stick for me. I'm just not a bard.

Here's what I'd suggest. A corp of tenors (that pitch carries) - dozen
or dozen and a half or more - one to each army unit.

They sing the lyrics and the units chime in on HOW MANY OF THEM CAN WE MAKE DIE!

Might be nice if each singer had (or had someone with) a bodhran or
droumbake for the beat.
