These journeys were referred to as Walz so these workers went auf der Walz. The idea of travelling auf der Walz was also taken up in Australia (where they called it on the Waltz or on the Wallaby) and it gave rise to the famous song Waltzing Matilda, although in the Ozzie song the traveller was a swagman rather than a craftsman. So I have called this arrangement On the Wallaby. 6 Rosa Divina - Instrumental version of a duo originally written for bass and alto voices using the words of a Mexican nun, Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz The pdf files contain scores and parts.
