Suitable for groups of all ages and experience levels, SingCircle provides choral leaders with everything they need to facilitate inclusive and satisfying group singing. This unique collection of rounds spans centuries of accessible material from the medieval period to the present day, drawing from a range of musical traditions and offering the chance to explore singing in different languages. The progressive structure allows confidence to grow with the repertoire, which stretches from unison songs and rounds to rich extended part-singing, and singers are encouraged to learn by rote. There is music from diverse voices and communities--with well-established classics sitting alongside new compositions--and to suit a variety of settings. All pieces are accompanied by background notes with rehearsal guidance and translations of non-English texts. Transliterations are provided within the scores, and pronunciation audio guides are available on a companion website.
