Below please find the remarks I have about the MIDI
--------------------

This round was published in Ravenscroft's "Pammelia" in 1609. The book was a best-seller in its day, and people are still singing from it.

If you have a music program, you can download my MIDI file and edit it to suit yourself. Power!

A few comments about it: first you will hear the complete tune so you can learn it. When you hear it, you might think, "That's ugly." However, when you hear the parts together, it becomes beautiful and interesting. Many rounds from this era are like that.

The tune has a big range. That's because it was intended for men to sing, and men (given practice)can switch their voices from high to low. It's another way they have of showing off.

I put it in the key of C for brightness, but at my house we will do it in A. We are all altos at my house.

SPECIAL OFFER! If anybody actually downloads the tune and says "Thanks, I intend to sing/play this beautiful piece," I will post another of the same type.
