CIRCLESONGS
by Zuza Gonçalves

Circlesongs are vocal pieces composed spontaneously by a leader with a group of singers. The leader gives the group different parts to sing, layering harmonies and rhythms, using call and response, conducting entrances, and improvivising over the goup's singing. All over the world, Circlesongs create beautiful music and cultivate a deep sense of community and joy.

Circlesongs also build the fundamentals of musicianship, including harmony, counterpoint, rhythmic precision, and deep listening. The term was created by Bobby Mcferrin to describe this ancestral practice, that is at the same time modern and ancient, Bobby also uses circlesongs as a composing tool as can be seen in his amazing álbum “Circlesongs”.
