Pachelbel Canon

Assignment due: Wednesday, March 17 (note date change!)

You received a copy of the Pachelbel Canon bassline, both in class and in an email. Your assignment is to write a melody line for this bassline using D, E, F#, G or A (the first five notes of D Major).

Your composition must include both the bassline and the melody line.

Freshmen & Sophomores: Write a VIOLIN melody line. Begin at measure 5. Make sure you end the piece on D.

Juniors & Seniors: You will need to write 2 parts. First, write a CELLO part, beginning at measure 5. At measure 9, start a VIOLIN part that is an EXACT copy of the cello part, notewise (not the same octave). Make sure you end the piece on a note of the D Major chord (D, F# or A).
