Navigation etc.

I like to write canons and to obscure that fact. To do this I blend individual lines into what sometimes sounds like one line. Also, I chop off the end of the subsequently entering voices and place these at the beginning so the listener doesn't know which voice begins the canon. This Quick Canon has the entrances offset by 2 measures. When you hear the arrangement with Sax and Trumpet the canon is a little more clear. There is no traditional tonality, but it keeps sounding like F is the tonal center.
