One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:51) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.

The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.

The words

I will go with my father aploughing To the

green field by the sea, And the rooks and the

crows and the seagulls Will come flocking

after me; I will sing to the patient horses

With the lark in the white of the air,

And my father will sing the ploughsong,

my father will sing the ploughsong That

blesses the cleaving share.

I will go with my father asowing To the red

field by the sea, And the rooks and the gulls

and the starlings Will come flocking after

me. I will sing to the striding sowers With

the finch on the greening sloe, And my father

will sing the seedsong, my father will sing

the seedsong That only the wise men know.

I will go with my father areaping To the

brown field by the sea, And the geese and the

crows and the children Will come flocking

after me.

I will sing to the tanfaced reapers With the

wren in the heat of the sun, And my father will

sing the scythe song, My father will sing the

scythe song That joys for the harvest done.
