 A Shroud of Thoughts
"Sumer Is Icumen In" is thought by some to be the oldest surviving song in the English language.
I rather suspect that songs similar to "Sumer Is Icumen In" could have existed in some form even before the Norman Invasion, maybe even "Sumer Is Icumen In" itself.
As to "Sumer Is Icumen In" itself, I can only think that medieval England (or modern England for that matter) has a lot milder summers than Missouri has.

 [minstrels] Icham of Irlaunde -- Anon
The most frequent topics in the Middle English secular lyric are springtime and romantic love; many rework such themes tediously, but some, such as "Foweles in the frith" (13th century) and "Ich am of Irlaunde" (14th century), convey strong emotions in a few lines.
Two lyrics of the early 13th century, "Mirie it is while sumer ilast" and "Sumer is icumen in," are preserved with musical settings, and probably most of the others were meant to be sung.
The dominant mood of the religious lyrics is passionate: the poets sorrow for Christ on the Cross and for Mary, celebrate the "five joys" of Mary, and import language from love poetry to express religious devotion.

 We Love 1997: Sherwood Consort – Sumer Is Icumen In.
Sumer Is Icumen In is from a mid-thirteenth century manuscript (see it here) and is one of the few surviving songs of the period.
The lyrics seem to be simply celebrating spring but it has been suggested that there is a less wholesome subtext with the cuckoo symbolizing infidelity.
Sumer Is Icumen In is featured on their 1997 debut album Between March and April.

 Pack, Rowland
Pack's knowledge of music theories of ancient times is obviously very thorough, his performances never smack of dry scholarship' (Toronto Daily Star, 20 Nov 1962).
At the time of Pack's untimely death (of Hodgkin's disease), he, Bert Niosi, and Bill Richards were planning a CBC radio program around the ancient tune 'Sumer is icumen in,' on which they would compose and perform variations.
As a memorial tribute the CBC invited Niosi, Richards, and 11 other composers (Agostini, Applebaum, Freedman, MacMillan, Morawetz, Nimmons, Ridout, Schafer, Surdin, Symonds, and Willan) to each provide a variation in a particular style.
