    Hear it with the others, so you know where it sits in the chord.

About London's Burning (round)

Words: traditional

Tune: traditional, as John Goss printed it in the Daily Express Community Song Book (1927)

London's Burning is an English round about a fire and the call to put it out; a version called "Scotland's Burning" was printed in America in 1816. Our round is read from the Daily Express Community Song Book of 1927, edited by the baritone John Goss, a whole tone lower, in F. Goss numbers its four lines for the voices to come in, and numbers their ends 4, 3, 2, 1, which we read as where each voice stops, so that everyone finishes together. Here it is for 2 to 4 singers: the soprano sings it three times, each voice entering two bars after the last, the tenor and bass an octave lower, and all stop together on one chord.
