All songs and cycles can be performed individually: 1. Martinmas Songs (Mardilaulud) for male chorus, 2.  St. Catherine’s Day Songs (Kadrilaulud) for female chorus, 3. Shrovetide Songs (Vastlalaulud) for male chorus, 4.  Swing Songs (Kiigelaulud) for female chorus and 5. St. John’s Day Songs (Jaanilaulud) for mixed chorus.
