    1. 'Cuckoo', yes - but it's from a collection of mostly unison choral songs called Friday Afternoons, which also includes 'Old Abram Brown' which also features in the actual film. (Perhaps Anonymous saw the track was on an album which included A Ceremony of Carols - lovely but quite another work.)
