This collection of 39 rounds and canons features a range of material from the oldest-known round; 'Sumer Is Icumen In' to the famous Pachelbel Canon as well as six original canons by Gail Smith. The short canons composed byKonrad Kunz are ideal for sight reading. There is one in every major and minor key in a 5-finger position. For the more advanced pianist there are amazing canonic Piano solos by Bach Schumann and Clementi. The right hand melodybecomes the left hand melody in a very magical way melting into the most beautiful harmony imaginable. There's a canon to go 'around' for pianists with any amount of experience!

While Pachelbel has been most admired as a composer of organ works and Lutheran church music his Canon in D has long been one of his most celebrated compositions. It combines two time-honored compositional devices. The first of these is of course the canon a procedure whereby a melody in one part is strictly imitated by one or more other parts; a round (such as for example Frère Jacques) is a type of canon. The second device involves a short bass line (refeered to as a ground bass) that is repeated constandly over which the composer writes continuous variations. In its original form the work consists of an initial statement of an eight note ground bass followed by27 variations in strict canonic style for three violins above that bass. In addition to these four essential parts an appropriate harmonic background would have been improvised on harpsichord lute or organ. In the present arrangement Pachelbel's note values have been doubled for greater ease of reading and the work's canonic structure has been somewhat modified in order to make it more readily playable by violinists and pianists at an intermediate level. Since dynamics bowing indications articulations and slurs were not customarily provided by composer of the Baroque era the arranger and the editor have added them here as well as a metronome indication and a few cadential trills. Obviously these editorial additions should be regarded only as suggestions.

Schnee - Ten Canons For Nine Instruments was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 2006-08. Commissioned by Westdeutscher Rundfunk for 'Wittener Tage für Neue Kammermusik 2008' with support from Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung and The Danish Arts Council. Dedicated to Harry Vogt and Ensemble Recherche. Programme Note: In the beginning of the 90s I arranged some of J.S. Bach’s canons for ensemble – in total seven single standing works from his entire life span. I became totally absorbed into this music and arranged them with the intention of the music being repeated many many times as a kind of minimal music. Obviously I didn’t know which durations Bach had in mind but by listening to his canons in this way a profound new moving world of circular time was opened to me.Depending on the perspective on these canons the music and its time can stand still or move either backwards or forwards.In my own work an ongoing idea has persisted of at some point writing a work consisting of a number of canonical movements that would explore this universe of time. And when I was offered the commission for Ensemble Recherche and Wittener Tage it felt as the right time to do this.In Schnee a few simple and fundamental musical questions are explored. What is a Vorsatz? And what is a Nachsatz? Can a phrase be answering? Or questioning?The guideline or rule for the canons is very simple: We start out with an answering Vorsatz followed by a questioning Nachsatz. Throughout the time of the piece these two are intertwined more and more as more and more dicht geführt canons until at the end they are interchanged. Now the question and then the answer. The two canons are identical like a painting in two versions but with different colors. And where the first one does not include the space the second one does as well as containing more

La série ' Chanter en Canon ' rassemble à ce jour quatre recueils de canons. Chaque livret, regroupant environ 25 canons, ne recherche pas l'unité de style, ni l'unité de niveau d'exécution. Le parti pris est celui de l'anthologie ou du florilège. Enseigner et divertir dans la diversité, tel en est le but de cette collection. / 2 À 4 Voix A Capella

In Bright Mass With Canons the canonical motifs are present right from the beginning and carry through almost every bar of the work.There are echoes of early English Choral writing and abstracted sections with flurries of sound interspersed with more Choral writing all in the most modern idioms. Contemporary American composer Nico Muhly is a prolific writer and arranger who at 32 is the youngest composer ever to have been commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera in New York. His oeuvre includes two operas and many solo pieces and works for small ensemble Orchestra and Chorus and he has collaborated with artists such as PhilipGlass Björk and Sigur Rós.In the December 2014 edition of Organists' Review Christopher Maxim writes that 'the vocal writing frequently evokes Renaissance polyphony' and 'the language is fresh and contemporary with much zest being added by the organ part.'
