Product Description
Johann Pachelbels Canon in D is perhaps one of the worlds
most famous pieces of classical music. Originally composed in the 1600s,
the piece lay in obscurity for many centuries, until it was
rediscovered in 1968 and suddenly became unexpectedly popular. It has
firmly established its place as a standard of popular classical music.
While most previous ukulele arrangements of the Canon have
attempted to arrange all of the pieces parts onto one instrument, this
arrangement takes the opposite approach, using three ukuleles for the
three violins of the original, making the piece very easy to play, and
keeping in with the concept of a canon as a piece in which multiple
instruments play the same relatively simple part at different times,
creating a more complex and interesting sound texture.
