Pachelbel Canon for Flutes

Tell me what you think. Thanks.

Can you tell me any suggestions please so I can revise it? Thanks

I think you're missing some parts

Like what kind of parts?

Thanks in advance

eg. after the first four measures, theres a part that you didn't include.
you put it in there for the clarinet arrangement though

I thought so, but I wasn't thinking at that time. Thanks for pointing that out. Did you like the clarinet one though?

Flutes can only play one note at a time

Why are you arranging this canon for three (four needed actually for your score) flutes instead of say for flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon? With different instruments more tonal colouring is possible, the parts are more distinct and there is a broader range of pitches available.

Also the Finale score is bare - no dynamics, no phrasing, no tempo changes - which makes the sound mechanical and less interesting to listen to.

There are many many arrangements of this famous piece so the listener has fairly high expectations.

It is a split part for the flutes. Not two notes at once. lol

Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming please.

Both Mark and Euler have pointed out some very good things.

It is a very famous piece, so the expectations ARE pretty high - just like Euler stated.

What I find rather annoying is the potential you could put into this arrangement. Why three flutes? I mean you can have a large woodwind ensemble instead, in order to have the timbral mixture!

You have to pay attention to the fact that woodwinds require air to perform a tone - there are several passages are slightly too long. I am not a flautist so I do not really know, but 21 measures without a pause is pretty much.
