I hadn’t realised that I had forgotten to upload this to my site. This is an arrangement I had made of Pachelbel’s Canon in D, arranged for Solo Violin. It is much adapted and abridged, and makes use of double stops to make the illusion of multiple voices in some parts, while reverting to single lines where necessary. Uses only the “interesting” parts.
This arrangement is © 2006 Ben Clapton, however I do give permission for this piece to be performed anywhere in the world, for whatever purpose (busking, weddings etc) on the sole condition that I be notified by e-mail to mail@benclapton.id.au or as a comment to this post as to the location (City, Country) that it will be performed in. Comments about the arrangement are always welcome, but please – constructive criticism or praise only.
This arrangement has been performed in places such as the US, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.

Hi Ben, I love the arrangement. I’ll be performing the work 6/17/23 in Phoenix, Arizona. Thank you!
I was so excited to come across your arrangement. My fiance and I wanted my brother to play a violin solo at our wedding and Canon in D is notoriously for a string quartet. He’s still practicing, we’re hoping his timing works, but it will be performed on an Island on the Thames near Windsor, UK this September.
Thank you for making this available.
Will be performed in Gothenburg Sweden!
Our nine year old will be playing it at her sister’s wedding in May.
