% Round · C major
% What to listen for: Two voices sing the same melody, the second starting four bars after the first. Read the two staves side by side: from bar 5 on, the two instances are always singing different parts of the same tune at the same moment. That only works because every four-bar part was written over the same four chords (C, A minor, F, G), so any part can sit on top of any other. The third part is the busiest. It's the chords themselves, broken into eighth notes, so whichever instance is singing it is quietly holding up the other one. In bar 17 they land together, the first on a high C and the second on the E below it.
