The premise of a canon is that a single song can be sung starting at different times creating lovely harmonies. The Book Of Canons is an incredible resource for music teachers - a sumptuously illustrated collection of more than 155 time-tested canons representing the absolute best music for children our culture has to offer. The songs are drawn from all over the world, and many are by some of the great composers throughout history - after all, rounds and canons have been enjoyed since the Elizabethan era. Each canon in this collection is ranked by difficulty and includes a general translation if needed. (Grades 2-4)
