"In A Perfect Circle: Rounds, Grounds, Circle Dances, and Circular Songs"  

The infinite shape of the circle is represented in music throughout the ages in many different ways: from the idea of simple (or very complex!) rounds - two or more equal melody parts in continued pursuit of each other, to the sheer endless possibilities of melodic and rhythmic variation over a repeating ground bass, music played for circle dances, or lifting voices together in a circle. Visually, we can think of medieval representations of the ever-changing wheel of fortune, the circle used as a symbol for a mensuration in early notation representing "tempus perfectum", a perfect relationship of 3:1, or the circular mapping of the circle of fifths. We will explore a wide range of music related to this idea of the perfect circle and enjoy some images along the way.
