Kicke hi hi, ha ha ha ha by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
1. Kicke hi hi, ha ha ha
Ka ka kaney da da da
ist Han und Hennen Weckgeschrey
Wenn bricht hervor der Morgenstern
da lassen sie sich hören gern
2. Kicke hi hi…
… Liebgeschrey
Wenn Febo folgt dem Morgenstern
da hackt der Han das Hennlein gern

About Kicke hi hi, ha ha ha ha
This lively German secular madrigal by Johann Hermann Schein captures the boisterous sounds of a farmyard awakening. Sung by an SSB choir, Kicke hi hi, ha ha ha ha, ist Han und Hennen Weckgeschrey, directly translates to the crowing of the cock and clucking of hens. The text humorously progresses from the morning alarm to the amorous pursuits of the rooster and hens, painting a vivid and saucy picture of rural life. Schein masterfully uses the musical setting to reflect the text's playful and escalating energy, making it a delightful and characterful choice for a choir looking for something spirited and engaging.
