Review:
This energetic setting of the familiar organ piece by Louis Claude Daquin includes scoring for eight, optional handchimes in the 3-octave range. The music imitates the cuckoo (Le Coucou) sound of a cuckoo clock. The challenge is to play the sixteenth notes evenly with a steady tempo. The tempo is marked "As fast as possible!"
