Thanks for this. I recently heard this tune for the first time in many years, and was quite taken by it. It’s been a mystery to me, however, as to the gender of the lead – I can hear it either way. Thanks for clearing it up.

Michal,
I had guessed it was a male but figured I’d see what I could find. I got lucky.
Thank you!
