05 Sep 13 - 12:14 PM (#3556346) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Now all the woods are waking, the sun is From: Jim Dixon NOW ALL THE WOODS ARE WAKING is a round. There are no more lyrics beyond what you posted. It is on the children's album "My Best Friend : Songs to Grow On" by Lisa Monet. You can hear it on Spotify. Also, it's in at least one songbook: Round the World : Teaching Harmony with Multicultural Rounds and Canons by Cheryl Lavender (Milwaukee, WI : Hal Leonard Corporation, 2012) You can see the music notation in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ijQgz1kIE8. There is an MP3 file on this page, of some adults singing the round. If you want more information, try Googling: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Now+all+the+woods+are+waking%22 |

I have made MIDI's of the round, melody and three-part, and I've sent them to Joe for posting here. Then if somebody makes an ABC of the MIDI's, we'll have both history, lyrics and music for this charming round. |

At a second glance however, I realized that the round is declared traditional, which makes Lisa Monet a shameless self-promoter but grants some licence to the lyrics and composition. Here is the ABC: X:1 T:Now All the Woods are Waking C:Trad. eight-part round M:4/4 L:1/4 K:D A,| D D E "^2." E | F2 G "^3." G | A d c "^4."

Does anyone know its age and origin? |
