Michael Drewes : They say what they like - ΛΕΓΟΥΣΙΝ Α ΘΕΛΟΥΣΙΝ
I have set an ancient Greek poem of the anacreontic tradition with accentuated metrics from Aquincum in the Roman province of Pannonia inferior, today Budapest, Hungary, into music for SATB choir with harp accompaniment and broadened it with fugues and an inversion.

ΛΕΓΟΥΣΙΝ / Α ΘΕΛΟΥΣΙΝ / ΛΕΓΕΤΕΩΣΑΝ / ΟΥ ΜΕΛΙ ΜΟΙ / ΣΥ ΦΙΛΙ ΜΕ / ΣΥΝΦΕΡΙ ΣΟΙ
English Translation:
"They say / what they like. / Let them say it, / I don't care. / Go on, love me; / it does you good!"
