What follows are my usual mixture of sheet music and rehearsal tracks in programme order. As usual, if there are discrepencies between my version and the original, trust the original, I've almost certainly made errors.

 

Morning Has Broken

You Are My Sunshine

The Lark In The Morn

Summer Is Icumen In

  • Sheet Music
  • Alternative Sheet Music (easier to understand lyrics)
  • Rehearsal Track
  • Performance Notes: Karen and Sally are singing the "burden" (the bars marked "Pes I" and Pes II" at the bottom of the sheet). Then Men and Alto's sing the whole piece once. Men and Alto then repeat the piece a second time, and the Soprano's come in from the start but one bar behind (as in a round). Men and Alto's will then finish, followed by the Sopranos one bar later, followed by the burden.
  • YouTube (note we are singing it considerably slower and with only two parts plus burden rather than the four they eventually do in this video)
