In this arrangement, the Canon is combined with popular Christmas carols as part of the fabric of the piece. Carols like "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" and "The First Noel" fit nicely over the harmonic progression of Pachelbel's famous canon. This arrangement will work nicely with band alone or with the option to include choir (CM9401).
