Canons have held a large place in the lives of almost every major composer since the the inception of notated music. There are literally thousands of musical canons in existence, from the very simple to the very complex, even a canon with as many as 48 voice parts. The wonderful thing about canons: if everyone learns the first four measures of the canonic melody, they have already mastered a good portion of the composition. Canons are great for developing the basis of part singing. Sing the canon simply and with great clarity. It may be fun to have the voices mixed and milling in the space about as they sing, as this creates an interesting effect for the singers. It is also an excellent test to ensure that each participant knows their part independently of others.
