Product description

This fine pairing of the traditional Shaker tune Simple Gifts and Pachelbel's Canon in D is a brilliant interweaving by Donald Moore of two beloved tunes. Simple yet elegant, it features accompaniment for piano (2 players) or organ and C-Instrument (optional, part included). Certain to become a first-rate choral masterpiece, it is available in voicings for singers of all ages. Highly recommended for the entire year, especially harvest, thanksgiving and peace services.

Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was a German Baroque composer, organist and teacher, one of the most important composers of the Middle Baroque period. He composed a large number of sacred and secular compositions. His work enjoyed great popularity, he taught many pupils and his music became a model for most German composers. Today, his best-known work is the Canon in D major, which is one of the most famous pieces in classical music. His other well-known works include the organ pieces Chaconne in F minor and Toccata in E minor.
