<br/><br/> "These fourteen new compositions offer classrooms, choirs and communities a chance to rediscover 'round' singing and its unique musical and social dynamic. Round singing invites equal participation, a balance of following and leading, and a development of heightened musical and social awareness through interwoven melody and rhythm, creating harmony. Weaving together Te reo and English with voices and movement, standing in the circle, sing of the circle of the year, and of proverbs, awakenings and karakia that carry simple but beautiful wisdom."--Back cover.
