Thread Name: Farewell songs for the last round
Subject: RE: Farewell songs for the last round
There is a beautiful old round from England ( 17th C.) whose words are

Sing with thy mouth, sing with thy heart.
Let every voice sing "Loath to depart."
Though friends together we will always remain,
Yet "Loath to depart" sing once again.

When heard, the tune seems rather drab, but when the parts combine, it is quite beautiful.

Sorry I can't find the MIDI for you, but it's worth investigating.
