PACHELBEL'S CANON - Johann Pachelbel, arr. Steve Cortland - Concert Band Version

“Pachelbel’s Canon” (also known as the Canon in D, P 37) is an accompanied canon by the German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel. The canon was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo and paired with a gigue. Neither the date nor the circumstances of its composition are known (suggested dates range from 1680 to 1706). Since the 1980s, it has also found increasingly common use in weddings and funeral ceremonies in the Western world. Steve Cortland wrote an up-to-date arrangement for concert band, fanfare and brass band.
