CRCP Volume 8: The Swing is based on Stevenson’s well-known poem about a child riding a swing high enough to, seemingly, see over the rooftops and across the countryside. The brisk 3/4 time signature combined with the ascending/descending melodic line accentuates the joyful swinging motion of the song’s narrator. Arranged so that the original two melodies become partner songs at the end, this gleeful tune will delight young singers in their ability to sing in two parts.
