lloyd64 Lyr Req: Lets talk Rounds (26) Lyr Add: CIRCLE OF SOUND ROUND (Lloyd Michalsen) 31 Aug 00

Thanks to all. Rabbitrunnung, what a list of rounds. GUEST,leeneia, Thanks for you help. Jacob B, I will order a book, thanks.

It is very difficult to explain why a round works and when is it a 2, 3 or 4 part round.

The easiest thing for me to say is if you can write a song that is played with only one cord and the length of each line has the same number of beats you have a candidate for a round. The rounds I will be teaching are:

Music alone shall live
O how lovely is the evening
. Have you seen the ghost of John

And a four part round I wrote:
("Circle of sound" is a song circle group I started in Western North Carolina)
