How many carols can be combined with the Pachelbel Canon bass line? 

Composer-arranger Paul Ayres offers three possible answers!

Version I lasts 2’45” and quotes 18 carols

Version II is 3’45” and features 25 carols

Version III takes 8’45” and includes 86 carols (including Rutter’s Shepherd’s Pipe Carol, by kind permission of the composer)
