O tuneful lyre of Jubal
Play merry Noel
Resound in many a far Eastern key
Now bind a wandering mother in magical spell
To give her child a lifetime of melody.
Jubal from Four Carols (2002)

The musical enchanter of the four Rawuns, his child was Genun,
goddess of the arts,beauty and epicurean pursuits.
