Description

10 Rounds and Canons are beautiful new and original compositions by David McKeown arranged for one Oboe and one Bassoon. We all remember the fun we had singing rounds in school, and these pieces take that to the next level. Each piece is a pure canon where the second part faithfully follows the first, and are ideal for players at early intermediate and intermediate levels. Each piece last between one and two minutes.
