Our goal: A Pachelbel for EVERYONE!

One thing leads to another. Denes Agay's piano solo transcription became an instant best-seller, so we published Brian Warren's guitar version. Since that was so well received, we thought we'd let flutists in on the action, and they made Daniel Dorff's transcription for flute and piano one of our best-sellers.

As you can see, we can't help but keep a good thing going. The winds, brass, and strings are all covered, and we've even recently published an edition for keyboard percussion.

Now that all of the soloists are taken care of, we've come up with the real gem of the series: two versions for
any two or three melody instruments with a choice of bass instrument or piano accompaniment!
These are highly flexible arrangements, which include a host of parts in each set. Scored for two or three parts with accompaniment, there really is no limit to the number of players who can join in. Scroll down for a look at sample pages of the ensembles.
