This is an Easy Level piece for String Ensemble written by music educator and composer Tom May.
Based on the famous Canon in D by Pachelbel, this work helps students reinforce basic rhythms using minims, crotchets and quaver note rhythms and rests and repeated quaver note figures with a feature moment and entrance for each section. This is an outstanding performance ensemble piece for students in their first stage of learning.
