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.
