King of Prussia, PA – Theodore Presser Company continues its line of instrumental arrangements of the classic Pachelbel Canon in D with three new settings for trios. Arranger Daniel Dorff has transcribed the Canon for Flute, B Flat Clarinet, and Piano (114-41780 � Score and Parts � $9.99), for Violin, Viola, and Piano (114-41781 � Score and Parts � $9.99), and for Two E Flat Alto Saxophones and Piano (114-41782 � Score and Parts � $9.99). Dorff has previously arranged the Canon for solo with piano for virtually all orchestral instruments. These three new trio arrangements address the most popular instrumental trios. As with a round, each instrument plays the same passages, but starting at different intervals. The ingenious overlapping creates the intricate sounds when the instruments play off of each other in the world's most beloved canon. For classroom, for recital, for weddings or for gigs, Dorff's three new arrangements provide a number of performance opportunities.
The new arrangements of Pachelbel Canon are now available through Theodore Presser Company or your favorite music retailer.
