These canons, selected and edited by Robert Currier, are incredibly
effective for use in music education, especially as an introduction to
chamber music and ensemble playing. They are fun; they are brief and
clever; many of them, being vocal in origin, are limited in range and
relatively easy to play.
The canons can first be performed in unison until mastered and
then play canonically. They can be played by any combination of
bowed string instruments from a minimum of three up to a full
string orchestra.
This collection has music from the Masters in a form that will amuse,
challenge, educate and result in creating true musicianship.
