Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Deborah Baker Monday. Full score. 8 pages. Duration 2:30. Carl Fischer Music #YAS218F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS218F). ISBN 9781491163009. UPC: 680160921751. Key: D major.
Canon Noel combines the iconic Pachelbel theme with graceful melodies from The First Noel and Hark! the Herald Angels Sing. This lyrical setting in D major includes just a little shifting in the Bass and easy high-3 finger patterns in Violin II and Viola. Providing a wonderful study in legato playing with slurs in 3/4, the simple scale-based motion and frequent doubling will give the developing ensemble a full, rich sound as all sections get to play melodic material. An accessible and beautiful winter concert selection with a classical touch!
