Sumer Is Icumen In

Translated as "summer has arrived" and also known as The Cuckoo Song, this famous round dates back to the mid-13th century. Complete with "cuckoo" bell snippets, the development is delightful from beginning to end. It begins calmly yet lightly dancing, with the melody appearing in both treble and bass staffs. Stopped techniques move into a jubilant section where it literally dances to the end, filled with unbridled joy representing the coming of summer. A must-have for your ensemble!
