Rounds Re-Sounding: Circular Music for Voices and Instruments

About the Book

Rounds Re-Sounding is the most comprehensive collection of over six hundred rounds and canons—old favorites, historically important works (including Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Purcell), street cries, and contemporary beats. It also includes a scholarly essay on the history and development of rounds and an appendix listing effective all-rounds concerts for young or mature vocalists or instrumentalists. Although there are many easy melodies, many others are technically sophisticated.
