Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bass Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1111549 Composed by Alan Edgar. Baroque,Chamber. 11 pages. Alan Edgar Ted Moon #713841. Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.1111549). I have shamelessly combined ideas from three famous pieces popular for funerals: Pachelbel's Canon, Elgar's Nimrod from the Enigma Variations and Chopin's Marche Funebre from his 2nd Pianoforte Sonata. So it is a passacaglia, having a solemn repeating 4 bars in the bass; 8 variations on a 4 bar phrase; and an accompanied canon having each variation repeated twice, in the second clarinet after delays, while a new variation appears in the 1st. All in D minor, but a tierce de Picardie ends the piece. Only 3 minutes: after all that work!
