Thanksgiving Round

This easy 3 part canon is great for:

  • Working in 6/8 metre.
  • Working with the 3 most common compound time rhythms: ti-ti-ti (quavers / eighth notes); ta ti (crotchet, quaver / quarter note, eighth note); tum (dotted crotchet / dotted quarter note).
  • The harmonic structure is tonic and dominant chords - with a dominant 7th.
  • Teaching about passing notes.
  • Singing in 3 part harmony.
  • Singing around Thanksgiving - or any time of year!
