Here's the mid2text of the round I posted the other day ("Every Life" -- repeated here without the typos). I've tried singing it as a round (with the computer singing the other parts in midi ;-)), and it's a challenge, but the rhythm and harmonies are surprising -- almost dance-y.

EVERY LIFE

Ann Magill

Ev'ry life: a tale to tale -- *all those songs to sing! *For ev'ry hero yet *unsung, we'll help Love and *Freedom spread their wings.

(note: The asterisks mark where each new part enters. If you want to layer the midi tracks to hear how it sounds as a round, each line is two measures long)
