I'm pretty familiar with that particular song because it's usually the first thing I hear in the morning. It's a very sweet way to start the day. :) The call I heard was much louder than a White-throated Sparrow - I heard it from the woods across Antietam Creek very clearly. And the pitches didn't vary from triplet to triplet (to triplet:)). Thanks for the try!

Also consider White-throated Sparrow. In musical notation, the song sounds like: Do Laaaaa, tri-pe-let, tri-pe-let, tri-pe-let (with the trip-pe-lets also starting on La and the middle note slightly lower.) Pitches vary somewhat from individual bird to bird, and since there was more than one bird singing, it would be possible to hear something like tri-pe-let, tri-pe-let, tri-pe-let, La.
