Today's word on A.W.A.D. is "cancrine":
=======================================================================
1. Reading the same backwards as forwards, palindromic. For example,
"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama." (letter cancrine)
"So patient a doctor to doctor a patient so!" (word cancrine)
2. Crab-like.
[From Latin cancr- (stem of cancer) cancer + -ine.]
J.S. Bach's Crab Canon is an example of cancrine music:

=======================================================================
Check out the website above for the 1-page sheet music of Bach's Crab
Canon. It makes a simple enough horn duet.
Also, a moment's google turns up the following website which has a
playable and downloadable midi file of the Crab Canon:
