Canon in D – Pachelbel (string trio – violin, viola, cello)

Title: Canon in D

Composer: Johann Pachelbel, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin; Viola; Cello

Printout: 5 pages

Note: No one needs to tell you that the Pachelbel Canon is an essential piece for gig players, or that most trio arrangements are poorly done. This arrangement keeps the upper voices in the correct octave without putting the viola into its brilliant high register. Apologies to cellists; blame the composer.
