Synopsis

Here are eighty rounds that celebrate the good things in life: friendship, nature, giving thanks, and music itself -- or tumble into silly action songs and joking rounds. There are brief suggestions for round leaders on how to use them, and pointers on how to sing them. The rounds range from simple to challenging, and include the ones everybody knows. There is also a brief history of the round, more round sources for the avid singer, and an index to rounds by title or first line.
