It consists of the same type of folky material, organised throughout in canonic dialogue between the instruments. Spring Rounds was commissioned for Chamber Music 2000. The Chamber Music 2000 works were designed to be technically easy, but still retain the composers own individuality and musical style.

This selection of rounds has been arranged with care and is a welcome addition to the very familiar set of carols and popular songs of the season.Round singing is one of the simplest forms of polyphony and is an effective tool in teaching music in the classroom as each line can be taught by rote then assembled quickly into harmonies. Music educator Kenneth Simpson was a proponent of the Kodaly Method of music pedagogy and while this book of charming rounds is not a Kodaly publication, it certainly fulfills the Method's goal of using high quality music in short, simple forms.

This is the first complete edition of the rounds, canons and songs from Ravenscroft's four principal publications: Pammelia, Deuteromelia, Melismata and A Briefe Discourse. Thomas Ravenscroft (c.1582-c.1635) was a collector, editor and theorist as well as a composer, whose work was esteemed in his own lifetime and is valued today for its insights into the popular music of the period. Rounds and canons in this collection are all presented in resolved form, and the variety of subjects includes drinking songs, hunting songs and four songs in West Country dialect, as well as Latin-texted material. It is hoped that performers may be inspired to breathe new life into a repertoire that sheds fascinating light on a hitherto neglected area of Elizabethan music-making.

This book of Duets and Trios (Grade 1 - Grade 3 level) makes it easy for students to follow their ensemble part by using colour coded clefs/key signatures. The music covers a wide range of composers, as well as traditional tunes from around the world. There is a selection of festive music, a section of rounds, plus there are warm up exercises, each focusing on one aspect of ensemble technique. The arrangements work well with anything from two players up to a large flute choir/ensemble. Many pieces offer maximum flexibility as they can be played as a trio; OR the blue and red parts are harmonically complete to be played as a duet; OR there are also optional piano parts for some pieces, to be found in Book 3 (accompaniments). There are free recordings of all the duets and trios on The Young Flute Player YouTube channel. These videos can be adjusted to any speed, so are great for students to practise their part at home. This ensemble book can be used either independently, or in conjunction with the tutor/method books in The Young Flute Player series.
