Around The Circle by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
From the dirt a seed will grow,
from this growth a tree will rise,
rising up the branches spread,
from the branches nuts will grow.

About Around The Circle
Kenneth Langer’s Around The Circle is a delightful secular canon exploring the cyclical nature of life and the seasons. The text vividly portrays the growth of a seed into a tree, leading to the production of nuts, and then moving through the year from Summer to Fall, Winter, and Spring. The circular structure of the lyrics is mirrored in the musical form, inviting singers to engage with the text and melody in a continuous, flowing manner. This piece, written for a cappella voices, offers a charming and accessible musical setting of a universal theme, perfect for ensemble exploration.
