Why This CD Matters
The Canadian Brass brings Baroque repertoire into a brass-quintet setting, giving familiar works a different sound from their original orchestral and keyboard versions. The program pairs Pachelbel’s “Canon” with Bach selections such as “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor” and “Wachet Auf,” alongside music from Handel’s Water Music. The arrangements highlight the range of the ensemble’s two trumpets, horn, trombone, and tuba.
