The Book of Canons (First Steps in Music series)

Beautiful and attractive books from the most prominent collector and advocator of the rich heritage and diversity of folk songs

The premise of a canon is that a single song can be sung starting at different times creating lovely harmonies. The Book of Canons is an incredible resource—a sumptuously illustrated collection of more than 140 time-tested canons drawn from all over the world, by some of the great composers throughout history. Each canon in this collection is ranked by difficulty and includes a general translation if needed.
