One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:13) 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
Sir Spring in shining armour goes,
He rides in knightly manner, On field of vert
a crimson rose The blazon of his banner.
Till, winter’s icy helmet through,
Victoriously it crashes. Sir Spring in
shining armour goes, He rides in knightly
manner, On field of vert a crimson rose The
blazon of his banner. And now from ev‘ry hill
and vale Enraptur’d songs are ringing,
And ev’ry heart, Obeys a law im– mortal,
And, tho’ encased in triple steel,
Must open wide it’s portal, Must open wide in
homage free, And yield a liege’s duty To her
that hath his heart in fee, The Queen of Love
and Beauty. Sir Spring in shining armour
goes, On field of vert a crimson rose The
blazon of his ban– ner.
Sir Spring in shining armour goes,
He rides in knightly manner, On field of vert
a crimson rose The blazon of his banner.
His sunbeam sword, fresh dipp’d in dew,
With tireless ardour flashes,
Sir Spring in shining armour goes,
He rides in knightly manner, On field of vert
a crimson rose The blazon of his banner.
Above his head the nightingale With herald
note comes winging.
at Spring’s appeal, Obeys a law im– mortal,
And, tho’ encased in triple steel,
Must open wide it’s portal, Must open wide in
homage free, And yield a liege’s duty To her
that hath his heart in fee, The Queen of Love
and Beauty.
He rides in knightly manner, On field of vert
a crimson rose The blazon of his ban– ner.
