Where these rounds come from

In a round everyone sings the same tune, but not at the same time: the first voice starts, and each of the others starts from the beginning a little later, so the tune makes harmony with itself. There is only one tune to learn, which makes a round a good first step into singing harmony.

These are our own settings of rounds printed long ago, the oldest in Thomas Ravenscroft's Pammelia of 1609. Each is for 2 to 4 singers, the tenor and bass an octave lower, and each song's page says when it was printed and how far apart the voices come in.
