Additional info/contents	Anyone who thinks of the well-known canon by Johann Pachelbel when they hear the title “Classical Canon” is on the right track. André Waignein wrote this original canon following the example of its famous predecessor. Over a constant bass, with the use of each new instrument, the motifs that appear one after the other develop fuller and more embellished until the piece ends as quietly as it began.

Programme notes *: A composition teacher at the Brussels Conservatoire of Music, André Waignein regularly have his students practical composition exercises, such as duos, trios, short sonatas, variations, and arrangements of classical or modern works. One day he proposed an exercise on the ascending scale and the result was surprising. This gave him the idea of writing a work based on the descending scale. "Classical Canon" exploits the scale in all its forms and the successive appearances of different instrument families bring a rich diversity and breadth to the work. Complementing this, a crescendo takes the piece to an intense climax before returning gradually, through an orchestral interlude, back to the solitude of the initial scale. "Classical Canon" is a very rewarding piece that will allow all the sections within the band to shine. Quelle/Source: Scherzando
