J Pachelbel(1653 - 1706)
CANON
Arranged
for
Recorders
Tr - Tr2/T1 - T2 - B1 - B2
Notes:
1. This arrangement came in manuscript at a Recorder course
many years ago. My compliments and homage to the (now
unknown to me) original arranger - it seemed a pity not to share
this wonderfully sonorous arrangement with a wider group of
players.
He (she?) should feel free to contact me if necessary.
I have added what seem to me to be suitable dynamic markings -
feel free to change them if you feel differently.
2. Pachelbels original composition was for three parts (violins)
over a basso continuo, which almost certainly expected a
keyboard harmony in addition to the written bass line. This
arrangement compensates for the lack of this additional harmony
by using five players.
