Product Description
Canon In D - Johann Pachelbel - Euphonium Trio (Treble Clef), Keyboatd - Advanced/Intermediate - Digital Download.
Johann Pachelebel's celebrated "Canon in D" is perhaps the most famous canon ever written. A canon is a polyphonic device in which several voices play the same music, entering in sequence. Pachelbel's "Canon in D" was originally scored for three violins arranged in canon accompanied by a basso continuo playing an ostinato pattern, repeating the same harmonic progression throughhout the entire composition.
Regis Bookshar has now arranged this composition for a Euphonium Trio, written in Treble Clef, which play the melody in canon and a Keyboard instrument, either a Piano or Organ, which plays the ostinato pattern. Another version, with the Euphoniums written in Bass Clef, is also available, if you would prefer. This arrangement is suitable for high school and college students as is perfect for concerts, recitals and church services, especially for weddings, but could be performed for any occasion. Included are a score and a complete set of parts (22 pages).
This version of Pachelbel's "Canon in D" is written in the key of D Major, as was the original version. However, another version, transposed to the key of Bb Major, to make it a little easier for some younger performers, especially brass and woodwind players, is also available, if you would prefer. Also available are other versions of this well-known "Canon in D" for a wide variety of instrumental ensembles. Please take the time to compare the different versions to find the version (or versions) which best suits your needs. Also, please feel free to search for other arrangements by Regis Bookshar as there are numerous selections in a variety of styles also available for purchase. You may find something else which might innterest you. Please continue to check back periodically because new arrangements are being added as often as possible. Im certain that this wonderful arrangement of Johann Pachelbel's delightful "Canon in D" will continue to entertain both performers and audiences alike for years to come.
