Reviews

Grade 4 Up-This fine collection compares favorably to Esther L. Nelson's The Great Rounds Songbook (Sterling, 1985; o.p.). The selections are written in such a way that the staves are connected and numbered to denote each part. In Great Rounds, the melodic lines are each on a single staff, which is probably more "kid friendly"; however, MacDonald's more sophisticated book seems geared to adults who would be leading the singing. Somewhat static black-and-white drawings open up each chapter. Overall, the introduction and instructions on singing rounds plus the appended history, advice for directors, additional suggestions of rounds, and a title/first-line index help to make this offering useful for most collections.
