Two Canzons
Merulo
5 TTBGbCb. Ann says: I arranged these canzons for some ‘easier’ eight-foot playing sessions. In principle it is not too difficult to find suitable eight-foot pieces, by picking music at four-foot then playing it an octave lower. But that assumes that the music works well at eight-foot and that some of the players are able to read from unusual clefs. These arrangements avoid such problems. Total performance time is about four minutes.
