Composed by Johann Pachelbel. Arranged by John Oliver. This edition: pdf. Baroque. Individual part. 5 pages. Johnolivermusic #5721541. Published by johnolivermusic (A0.965611).
An arrangement for the advanced classical guitarist of the famous Canon in D. New Edition 2025.
My arrangement presents the most prominent material from the original canon.
I consulted the original music for 3 violins and basso continuo, rather than existing arrangements for guitar. The music was originally written as a three-part canon. It is impossible to faithfully create a version for solo classical guitar that successfully represents all three parts. And so for much of the arrangement, I minimize or skip the third violin part and/or the third iteration of the canon so that the violin one part is always represented. As a consequence, the arrangement is shorter than the original.
Another factor is readability: I have doubled the note duration values to make the polyphony easier to read.
