This selection of rounds has been arranged with care and is a welcome addition to the very familiar set of carols and popular songs of the season.Round singing is one of the simplest forms of polyphony and is an effective tool in teaching music in the classroom as each line can be taught by rote then assembled quickly into harmonies. Music educator Kenneth Simpson was a proponent of the Kodaly Method of music pedagogy and while this book of charming rounds is not a Kodaly publication it certainly fulfills the Method’s goal of using high quality music in short simple forms.
