    Default Juba linnukesed (Estonian folksong)

    This is my short impression of an Estonian folksong “Juba linnukesed” (Already the birds singing). This is a well-known song in Estonia and an important song in school music. It’s often sung even before reaching school age.

    Here is my arrangement of the original version:

    Very cool, Toomas! I like both your versions. I can actually hear birds chirping in the non-swing one. These are both too amazing to not embed here:

    Thank you, Jim! I think it's a tit, from whose song we hear the motif of in the first bar. He is the first bird to sing here in the spring, if not to mention ravens and crows...
