Chant and Canon

Title: Chant and Canon
Level: Grade 1
Composer/Arranger: John O'Reilly
Publisher: Alfred
Classification: Canon
Instrumentation: Reduced Full
Source: Popplers' conductor's score
General Comments: Chant and Canon by John O'Reilly can easily be played by a beginning band. Moderate ranges and tempo make this piece easy for beginners. The melody makes use of the Dorian scale by ranging from D to D in the key of "C." Later in the piece the same melody is played in canon, one group plays the same melody a whole measure later. This section is faster than the beginning.
