Performed by the dwsChorale

A Latin song composed and performed by David W Solomons (dwsChorale) expressing some of the anarchic jollity of Saturnalia - obscure references in the Latin to 20th Century politicians are just for fun and have no political significance. The pilleum (or pileum) is the little cap of liberty worn by slaves who were traditionally freed on Saturnalia.
