A Round of Rounds for the Fifty Two Weeks of the Year: Wir Singen Durch die Jahresrunde - Kanons fur die 52 Wochen

With full English and German texts, this delightful and truly unique volume of original rounds comes complete with lyrics, musical score, rehearsal notes and an introduction. The set ranges in difficulty from pieces which can be readily learnt by a class of children to others which will be more suitable for an experienced choral group.

The composition of the 52 rounds reflects the cycle of events in nature, presenting us with the opportunity to 're-enter the wealth of experience that arises from and streams through nature's annual round'. In its varying moods, the music also expresses the year's breathing, thereby offering something of what lives beyond the mere crust of sense experience...
