Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sumer Is Icumen In/Summer Is A-Coming In
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Summer is a comm?in in' ?
the curious thing about this piece is not so much the farting buck as the fact that the muical language, the handling of harmony and counterpoint, seems infinitely more "modern" or "sophisticated" than other contemporary written music. A much more convincing case for little grey men in space ships, or visits from undersea ancient civilations, tan your pyramids and stuff: which let's face it don't need a great leap of the imagination. Six part harmony does.
