How to Find Per-Olov Kindgren’s Beautiful Arrangement of Canon in D (PDF)

The bass line in the original is eight notes long: D - A - B - F# - G - D - G - A. In PDF 21, Kindgren anchors this bass using a campanella (little bell) style. Instead of muting the notes, he lets them ring over each other. Measure 21 of the score is often the "climax shift" where the bass moves from the lower register into a higher tenor voice, creating a breathtaking lift in the dynamics.
