The Quiz: Which of these songs is sung as a round?
Clementine
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Mary Had A Little Lamb
Hokey Pokey
In music terminology, a round is defined as a type of composition in which each singer follows the same melody, but begins and ends at different times. In “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” as one voice finishes singing “stream,” a new voice will begin “Row, row, row” and so on. Though the song’s origins are unknown, the earliest publication dates back to 1852. One interpretation of the song’s meaning is to stay positive and keep things in perspective.
The correct answer to this quiz is Row, Row, Row Your Boat.
