Product Description
Apologies if you've arrived here expecting the famous Canon in D! But don't go just yet! Pachelbel wrote a great deal of wonderful music other than the afore mentioned Canon.
Here I have chosen the beautifully exquisite Chaconne in F Minor by Johann Christoph Pachelbel, scored for Saxophone Trio (Alto, Tenor, Baritone) its packed full of deep expression and challenging passages, and quite frankly very catchy and memorable!!
The following piece, the Prelude & Fugue in D Major, is by his son, Wilhelm Hieronymus Pachelbel, scored for Saxophone Quartet (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone), contrasts his Fathers piece in many ways, its sheer eccentricity and brilliance shines through the whole work! A loose comparison would be that he shares some challenging passages with Dad!! (... and at bars 66/68 a door bell can heard, revolutionary!!)
So, 2 Pachelbels for the price of one, settle back and listen to PACHELBEL & SON!
(N.B. although every care has been taken, some E#'s may remain!)
