Notes (yeah; really funny!)

Spring is Here was co-created by the Children's Choir of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder, Boulder Colorado and Don "Orfeo" Rechtman. It is a secular anthem celebrating the Easter season. A suitable prelude to "Sumer Is Icumen In," it is easily learned within a half hour.  One unique feature is it ends on the dominant chord--and it works!
