(Instrumental)
This piece of music was written by the famous jazz flautist/saxophonist Roland Kirk. Ian stated that this was one of the first pieces he learned to play on flute and acknowledged that his style of flute-playing was a stylistic derivative of Kirk's: e.g. mixing all kinds of vocal sounds with his flute-playing and the 'impure', jazzy flute technique. At the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island, Jethro Tull and Roland Kirk both performed on the 4th of July 1969, where Roland thanked Ian for doing "Serenade To A Cuckoo", because it made him famous by acquinting him to new audiences.
