Johann Pachelbel

Canon And Gigue in D

Experience one of the most timeless classics in music history in a delightful new sonic setting: Johann Pachelbel's unforgettable "Canon and Gigue in D" has enchanted musicians and audiences for generations. In this tasteful arrangement by James Carey, published by Fentone Music, the famous Baroque masterpiece shines as a recorder quartet in the charming and unusual instrumentation of three soprano recorders and one bass recorder (SSSB).

The three soprano lines weave together artfully over the warm, supporting foundation of the bass – ranging from the meditative cascades of the Canon to the lively, dance-like spirit of the Gigue. This edition includes both the full score and all individual parts. A wonderful repertoire piece for concerts, ensemble performances, and festive occasions!
