A round keeps running 'round my brain by Barbara Rosen — Lyrics
A round keeps running 'round my brain,
for that is what rounds do;
from whence it came I can't explain,
its origins construe.

About A round keeps running 'round my brain
Barbara Rosen’s A round keeps running ‘round my brain is a witty and engaging canon for five equal voices, perfect for a lighter moment in a concert or a fun warm-up. The secular English text humorously describes the composer’s own predicament of being unable to escape a tune that has lodged itself in her mind. This circular, self-referential text is perfectly mirrored by the canonic form, creating a delightful and meta-musical experience. The piece is a testament to the simple, yet profound, joy of singing together in imitation, capturing the essence of what rounds do with infectious energy and playful charm.
