A lovely 4-part round, more complex than many.

I found this round in one of Pamela’s notebooks, handwritten with blocked chords as a guide for creating the tune. There’s no evidence that she ever sang it with anyone.

Pamela wrote it in the key of G, but many people will find that too high, so I’ve transposed it down to D. I’ve added the sheet music in the higher key to download, if you prefer.

See the recordings below to help you learn it.

Here is a piano playing the tune (in D), with repeats to help you learn it and sing another part with it:

And here’s all four parts in a round, using different (computer-generated) instruments: piano, guitar, marimba and banjo (in D), so hopefully you can follow one of them and hear how it goes, and sing along:
