Film and TV music is often based on classical pieces. Sometimes it could be just a few bars an other times an entire piece is featured. We take a quick look at some of them here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sumer is i-cumen in<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sumer is i-cumen in<\/a>, in modern English “summer has arrived”. It’s also known as the Cuckoo Song or Summer Canon. It’s the earliest known Round, composed in the 13th century, though no one knows for certain who the composer was. This song can be heard in the film The Adventures of Robin Hood <\/a>(1938) starring Errol Flynn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little John, played by Alan Hale Sr, whistles the melody just before he meets Robin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song is also used at the end of The Wicker Man<\/a> (1973) and in the British television series Bagpuss <\/a> as The Mouse Organ song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
