Pachelbel Canon In D Original Sheet Music Arrangement

If you have been to more than one wedding chances are you have heard the time-honored Classical piece by Johann Pachelbel, Canon In D. The song is traditionally played by a string quartet or ensemble, but it has been arranged for myriads of other instruments.
A Favorite artist of mine is George Winston. He takes classical and songs from other musical genres and puts a new-age George Winston flair on it for some of the most wonderful recordings you can imagine. With that in mind, I recorded Pachelbel's Canon "a la George Winston" "a la John Troutman Piano arrangement". I recorded the song in 1994 and have been barraged with requests to transcribe the piece into sheet music. And so about 12 months ago, the work was completed. Here is a link to an excerpt of the Pachelbel Canon Sheet Music arr. by John Troutman. That's me. I would love to hear your feedback at johntroutman@yahoo.com.
