Singing Rounds Songbooks

A round (also called a perpetual canon or infinite canon) is a musical composition, a limited type of canon, in which a minimum of three voices sing exactly the same melody at the unison (and may continue repeating it indefinitely), but with each voice beginning at different times so that different parts of the melody coincide in the different voices, but nevertheless fit harmoniously together. It is one of the easiest forms of part singing, as only one line of melody need be learned by all parts, and is part of a popular musical tradition.

John M. Feierabend  : The Book of Canons (Revised Edition)  : SATB : Songbook : G-8552

John M. Feierabend : The Book of Canons (Revised Edition)

This beautiful and significant revision to The Book of Canons is an incredible resource for music teachers-a sumptuously illustrated collection of more than 155 time-tested canons representing the absolute best music for children our culture has to offer. The songs are drawn from all over the world, and many are by some of the great composers throughout history-after all, rounds and canons have been enjoyed since the Elizabethan era. Each canon in this collection is ranked by difficulty and includes a general translation if needed. States John M. Feierabend in the introduction: "Here then is a collection to meet many needs, sacred and secular, humorous and serious, major, minor, and modal, simple to complex... but above all, I hope you will find all of them musically satisfying."

Singing in canon is one of the oldest and easiest ways of singing in parts. Canons have survived both in the oral tradition as folk songs as well as in historical compositions. Canons are sung with one part beginning and other parts singing the same melody but starting at some point after the first part. Usually all parts will end or cadence at the same time creating a satisfying final chord. When brackets appear above certain notes in a canon they indicate where each part should cadence. Some canons work better sung as rounds where each part begins after the other but each part ends one at a time. This is a collection of songs which have been enjoyed by families as well as court musicians and their patrons and are special favorites of my family and friends. It is my hope that other families and friends will rediscover the pleasures of singing canons, in the car, as a grace before dinner, or anytime they gather. Canons bring harmony into peoples lives.

Songlist: Numbers, A Boat, Aram Sam Sam, Ah, Poor Bird, All Praise To Thee, Himmel Und Erde Sie Musen Vergehn, Alleluia, Ave Maria, Benji Met A Bear, Chairs, COFFEE, Path in the Garden, Derry Ding Dong, Donna Nobis Pacem, Early as I Was Walking, Autumn Winds, Daily Prayer, Friends Forget, Frere Jaques, Glory To God, Gone To Bed, Grasshoppers, Hashi Venu, Have You Seen The Ghost of John, Hey, Ho, Nobody Home, I Love the Mountains, and many more!

Roger Emerson : Rounds Plus

Rounds are wonderful ways to introduce harmony to young singers! However, traditional rounds are often too wide of a range for the changing voice, hence this collection was created with the young male voice in mind. Easy-to-sing ostinatos for the changing male voice accompany 10 familiar rounds sung by treble voices. Each round is presented in two keys to accommodate both the cambiata, mid-voice and new baritone range comfortably. Experiment with other keys until you find your choirs' sweet spot vocally. This will give you a good idea of the range and tessitura that will be effective when choosing your choral literature. These unaccompanied rounds may be taught entirely by ear, or duplicated for sight reading purposes. Songs include: Dona Nobis Pacem, Down by the Bay, Heigh Ho Nobody's Home, Jubilate Deo, London's Burning, Music Alone Shall Live, and more. Suggested for grades 6-9.

Songlist: Jubilate Deo, Dona Nobis Pacem, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Haida, Down By The Bay, London's Burning, Shalom Chaverim (Goodbye, My Dear Friend), Music Alone Shall Live, Ghost Of John (Have You Seen The Ghost Of John), Hey, Ho! Nobody Home, Jubilate Deo, Dona Nobis Pacem, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Haida, Down By The Bay, London's Burning, Shalom Chaverim (Goodbye, My Dear Friend), Music Alone Shall Live, Ghost Of John (Have You Seen The Ghost Of John), Hey, Ho!

Ruth Elaine Schram : Gather 'Round and Sing - 6 Rounds for 2-Part and 3-Part Children's Choirs

There is no easier way to introduce children to harmony and part-singing than "the Round." What an ingenious concept - everyone sings the same thing, just beginning at different times! The beauty of this structure is the ease of teaching this type of song, and the satisfying results for both the singer and the listener.

Songlist: I'm Gonna Sing My Praise, I'll Walk With Jesus, When Will the Little King Come?, Thank You For Christmas, Say I Love You, New Life

A Merry Round : 2-Part : Russell Robinson : Sheet Music Collection : 00-48824 : 038081561486

Russell Robinson : A Merry Round

Here's a cheerful traditional English round with a stately gait that is well suited for concert or festival use. As this classical-sounding arrangement progresses, we modulate up with each verse and trade leadership on the canon. The final verse adds a buoyant descant above two previously sung voice parts, leaving only a four-bar ending to rehearse. A handful of optional lyrics allow you to adapt the general text for holiday programs.

Zephyr Rounds : SSAATTBB : Robert Vuichard : Sheet Music : 48020867 : 884088504311 : 1423493737

Robert Vuichard : Zephyr Rounds

Zephyr Rounds was the winner of the 2007 Yale Glee Club Emerging Composers Competition. The asymmetry of the 13/8 time signature creates a bustling feeling of perpetual motion, blossoming into a thick texture of contrapuntal exchanges and melodic hocket between voices. The result is an infectious rhythmic energy unusual in a piece for a cappella chorus. Duration: ca. 5:50.
