Review: One way to prepare for the rigorous demands of choral singing is to begin the rehearsal with a warm-up round. Warm-up Rounds for Choirs aims to concentrate on some of the elements of good singing, providing material that will settle the voices through controlled breathing, open throats, clear vowel sounds and expressive phrasing. The rounds are based on easily memorable texts, with ranges that rarely exceed a tenth and in many cases stay withing the octave, making them suitable for choirs of similar voices (all-treble, or all-men voices) or mixed voices, SATB. All the rounds can be transposed to other keys.

Review: Singing in canon is one of the oldest and easiest ways of singing in parts. Canons have survived both in the oral tradition as folk songs as well as in historical compositions. Canons are sung with one part beginning and other parts singing the same melody but starting at some point after the first part. Usually all parts will end or cadence at the same time creating a satisfying final chord. When brackets appear above certain notes in a canon they indicate where each part should cadence. Some canons work better sung as rounds where each part begins after the other but each part ends one at a time. This is a collection of songs which have been enjoyed by families as well as court musicians and their patrons and are special favorites of my family and friends. It is my hope that other families and friends will rediscover the pleasures of singing canons, in the car, as a grace before dinner, or anytime they gather. Canons bring harmony into peoples lives.
