Do the Cuckoos of today still sound the same as the Cuckoos of the past? Well, yes, they do. An ancient musical composition from 1250 named 'Sumer is icumen in' features a vocal representation of a Cuckoo. Ian Pittaway, accomplished singer and expert in early music, speaks to us about the song and gives us his rendition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
