Fve Rounds These rounds were wrtn n 98 and 986. The frst two were wrtn for school sngng, and the next two for the local amaur chor. The last was for a more advanced chor. Where numbers appear above a lne, t means that when the frst voce reaches ths place, the numbered voce starts. A.B.C. s a crcular canon for two voces, at two bar s dstance. As wrtn, the words ft the nos well; but t would normally be easer sung at a lower ptch. A reasonable mpo would be crochs per mnu. By Doze s all Blog Dub s a crcular canon for two toeght voces. When sung by four voces, the frst voce sngs t through solo once; then the second voce jons n two crochs behnd the frst voce; then the thrd tme through the thrd voce jons n one croch behnd the frst voce, then the fourth tme through the fourth voce jons n three crochs behnd the frst voce. The ffth to eght voces would jon n four, sx, fve and seven beats behnd the frst voce. A reasonable mpo would be 8 crochs per mnu. The Carbon Cycle s a double round; two voces, soprano and alto, start smultaneously, and sng once through on ther own. On the second tme through, afr one bar the second alto starts, then afr one further bar the second soprano starts. A reasonable mpo would be 8 crochs per mnu. The Energy Cycle s a seven-voce round, wth voces enrng at -bar nrvals. So when each voce reaches the rest bars, the next voce starts. A hand-clap halfway through each rest bar can add to the effect. A reasonable mpo would be 0 crochs per mnu. In G I Noc Consum Ign was for centures the longest known palndrome. It means "we wander n crcles n the nght and are consumed by fre"; ths seemed a good summary of the nuclear arms-race era. Ths pece was wrtn wthout any knowledge of the flm of the same ttle made by Guy Debord n 978, but whch I dscovered only n 0. Awrtn-out last seven bars s provded to allow all four voces to fnsh togher. The central seven-bar segment of the round s here wrtn out twce; t could be gone through more tmes, by rotatng staves, and sutably exchangng the staves of the last sevenbars. A reasonable mpo would be 80 crochs per mnu.
