Tune of the Day: The Spring Time of the Year is Coming
arranged for two flutes
This duet is taken from Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine, published in Philadelphia in 1833. It is an arrangement of one of the many ballads that brought singer John Sinclair (1791–1857) to popularity back in the day.
The spring time of year is coming, coming,
Birds are blithe, are blithe and gay,
Insects bright are humming, humming,
And all the world is May, love,
And all the world is May.
