The repertoire includes works of different styles and epochs.

The words are set to the melody of the Scottish Minstrel "Common' Frae The toun". (This is a variant of the tune to which Auld Lang Syne is usuAlly sung—the melodic shape is almost identical, the difference lying in the tempo and rhythm.) It is performed here by the dwsChorale, with a cheeky insertion of a hornpipe! Gin a body meet a body Comin' thro' the rye Gin a body kiss a body Need a body cry? Ilka lassie has her laddie Nane, they say, hae I Yet a' the lads they smile at me When comin' thro' the rye. Gin a body meet a body Comin' frae the toun Gin a body greet a body Need a body froun?
