Strophe): In einem kühlen Grunde da geht ein Mühlenrad; |: Mein' Liebste ist verschwunden, Die dort gewohnet hat. :| Sie hat mir Treu versprochen, Gab mir ein'n Ring dabei; |: Sie hat die Treu gebrochen, Mein Ringlein sprang entzwei. :| Hör ich das Mühlrad gehen, Ich weiß nicht, was ich will, |: Ich möcht am liebsten sterben, Da wär's auf einmal still. :|  less

I have given this song the sub-title: "A Crazy Choral Etude for Rolled Rs and Perfect 5ths." It is meant, no pun intended, to be a musical lark, great fun for a choir to sing, rolling Rs like crazy, with no holding back. NB: One day I woke up to the realization that I had independently written four choral works, each of which had evoked a different season, and so it seemed natural to group them together into a choral suite that I have called "The Ottawa Four Seasons Suite." "Let's sing, it's Spring!", with its rousing coda section, works perfectly as the closing number of this suite. Also of note, in early 2018, I applied to be a participant at one of the Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by the SOCAN Foundation and to my delight I was accepted.
