Pachelbel's Canon in d MINOR

[Wolfareon]

nice. i LOVE it !

[bounasim]

didn't like that.

[SapphireStar101]

This was sad, but renewing... and kind of epic

[nathansharp93]

Ha this is really cool

[SnareGirl13]

this one wasnt done right. watch this one.

[Touda134]

Well its in natural minor... So it sounds a lil out of tune, but it is cool if you play it in harmonic minor. Can't say it's exactly funeral music though

[Nocturnehunt]

Why the hell can I not find the ORIGINAL PACHELBEL'S CANON? Let alone in D Minor. Honestly, what's with all these noogais coming up with this piece and thinking, "YO DAWG, LET'S RUIN A PIECE OF MUSIC BY ADDING DUBSTEP BEATS TO IT! IT'LL FUCK EVERYONE ELSE UP!"

[MichaelJacksonFan000]

Good for funerals.

[kristeemc2russia]

This would sound REALLY cool in harmonic minor.

[piccolomaniac]

Hmm, it might sound better if it were actually in minor instead of Aeolian mode. I love modal music in general, but I feel like major V chords and stuff would improve it (i.e., melodic minor instead of natural, or maybe harmonic if you wouldn't mind the Klezmeresque feel of the augmented seconds). And yeah, it was interesting how it sometimes sounded like it could be F major.

[waldinussmann]

somehow good

[MegaPercussionista]

i like the major sound of this piece.. although i was expecting a picardy third on the end :(.

but its good overall

[itisreal98]

Makes me shiver

[VerticalTurkey]

the timing sounds off, but for some reason it still works.

[aceflyer89]

To people who say it's horrible or sounds bad - Minor is supposed to sound messed up lol It's not some walk in the park with pretty flowers on a lovely summer day with birds singing and sun light every where. It's supposed to be dark, mysterious, painful.

[OhSoJazzy51]

This really scares me.

[DeathViaTar]

If you also want a happier version, I saw heard someone's F# (+4 on D Major) version and thought it was even better than in D. :)

[MissMarilynManson66]

Vampire wedding? xD

I think it's beautiful. <3

[fggbm]

I want the Canon in D major to be played when i marry, and the Canon in D minor at my funeral!!! =D XD

[firelegendmushroom]

This is the song that should play in the waiting room of a divorce court.

[thepissedkatamari]

Actually, it's not in minor because I didn't hear the raised sevenths at 1:04. Nevertheless, interesting work you've done here.

[CamWilkinson]

I thought it was beautiful until I heard missed notes at 0:58, 1:10, and 1:22. Then I quit listening. This wasn't played by humans, so there's no excuse.

[Snakeblud]

dude this is like serial killer status. i mean it gives me chills listening to it. like watching a movie with a slower murder scene

[sasoniiawesome]

Minor :D sounds awesome

[tasatful]

I love both versions. D Minor gives me a feeling I can't explain...

[llamavore]

awesome

[AsakuraAvan]

good for funeral music

[smzyjt]

@AsakuraAvan

exactly!

Major for wedding, minor for funeral :D

[2t22tornadosiren]

Yuck, minor sounds horrible to the ear. D major is better.

[Mazza4Azza]

@2t22tornadosiren

Agreed.

[soradann305]

Holy crap 0.0

[Ralph95Mind]

The harmonic structure is just perfect ! I wondered how horrible Canon could be with Dm-Am-Bb-F-Gm-Dm-Gm-Am, but you chose another way ! This is good and so nostalgic !

[TylerOTwo]

old school nintendo?!?! hell yes!! i love it.

[SutoikkuIchiban]

Not to be insulting but your chord progression is off. It SHOULD be Dm, Am, Bb, F, Gm, Dm, Gm, A. This doesn't really resolve the way it should.

[TugeRox]

YES! this is exactly what I was looking for!! :D thnx for posting this! i rlly wanted to hear a good violin cover on this :]

[danny321321123]

the first violin note made me jump! i cant tell if i love or hate this...

[Ellietooocool]

it sounds scary but kinda cool. i like the origional better but this one has an interesting sound. do u know where i can find the sheet music for this version?

[Ellietooocool]

eeeek! minor sounds depressing

[smzyjt]

there's a wrong note at measure 10.... it should be a B flat.. instead of natural

[bigbazzaboy]

this belongs in a Hammer horro movie or in a haunted house fun park attraction!

[abink10]

itunes. canon a la mode. canon in all the modalities :)

[Bibliophael]

What is interesting about this piece is that it is sounds tragic even in major. Minor key gives it a very different flavor, rather unusual but certainly effective.

[kyokusanagi38]

sounds full of darkness and sad though..i like..=p

[kyokusanagi38]

sounds full of darkness and sad though....i like...=p

[rizaa347]

nice piece of work

[slipknotmetal66666]

that's how beethoven would have written it

[MrCragy]

@slipknotmetal66666 lmao hard eh

[AkanTerkenal]

@slipknotmetal66666 But, the guy who composed the original song was pachebel, right?

[slipknotmetal66666]

@AkanTerkenal yes, that would be pachelbell ;)

[Spyd4]

horrible sounding...

[WalrusFlavoredTomato]

@ hendty01

i guess i see what you mean, i have been playing violin for a while now, but still!!!!!!!!!

[WalrusFlavoredTomato]

hey, it sounds good, but the parallel version to d major is b minor, sorry. d minor is the parallel to f major, not d minor. it doesnt work like that, you cant just add on a minor to make it different, the key sig. is still different.

still a great vid :)

[hendty01]

@WalrusFlavoredTomato As a music scholar, I must point out your comment is in error. D minor is parallel to D major because both scales have the same end points. Parallel keys do not as a rule have the same key signature. What you are referring to is RELATIVE key, which has the same key signature, but different end points.

[eRoLa93]

the violin here sounds very unnatural in my opinion... :)

[Huneiyue]

sounds creepy :(

[rockmusikspieler]

There's better ways to put this in a parallel minor. A lot of minor 7th and 7th chords are involved, and it sounds better in my opinion.

[21stCenturyRebel]

Wow, this is really horrible.

[PeaceFriend88]

@21stCenturyRebel I wholeheartedly disagree. Pachelbel's original canon in D Major is so immersed in the feeling of beauty and enriched life, that the minorized version is so fittingly enriched and over taking experience of the sadder part of life. I wanted to hear Canon, but I knew the method of my emotion at the time, which is a time very close to this moment, so I searched this. I'm very glad that I found it.

[98kiyoko]

@cool79606 you suck

[cool79606]

@98kiyoko well thankyou! "waves hand" lol

[LisaSpringfield]

@21stCenturyRebel You're horrible.

[kierankasey]

Very lovely sound thank you for this arrangement. You've inspired me to arrange it for solo piano though in C minor for a slightly more bitter sweet sound. I'll post it in a couple a weeks when I'm done=)

[shutupzeke37]

Minor keys have always been very interesting for me. Thank you for putting this up.

[DrPerch]

STICK TO THE VIOLIN!

[TANGONIA]

the last two chords in the progression kill it

[ringosatyarr]

you should try mixing it.....fade in's etc. it feels like the instruments are attacking me here! nice composition otherwise.

[nickbob00]

Almost sounds like a different song - I almost cringed on the first ground bass as it was 'wrong' lol

[rewtahydra]

What CD is it in?

[1FallingNinja]

No CD, I was just messing around on GarageBand and thought this sounded pretty good.

[rewtahydra]

I didn't read about details.

Thank you for telling me.

I think GarageBand is really good software,too.

[ViciousTeddyBear09]

@1FallingNinja How did you put this into Garage Band? And once it is in GB, how do your alter the pitch? I would like to experiment with some pieces.

[1FallingNinja]

@ViciousTeddyBear09 If the piece is a midi file: Open new GB project Open a Finder window and get to the midi file Drag the midi into the main GB pane Open Track Editor (scissors symbol in lower left) Otherwise: Open new GB project Record a note (so you have a track to work with) Open Track Editor Take that 1 note and move it around to change pitch, copy-paste to add notes, lengthen, shorten, etc.

[1FallingNinja]

@ViciousTeddyBear09 BTW in Track Editor, I find it simpler to use Graphic View (notes shown as rectangles on keyboard layout) than Notation View (standard staff notation).

[darkkevinyou]

If I were to play this, it's all the same notes except C = Nat, F = Nat, and B = Flat, right?

No other changes?

[pomatzu]

yeah, but in some case it's better put D flat instead of C natural but I prefer use all c natural

[jazzgator5678]

is there any possible way i can get an Mp3 of this?

[1FallingNinja]

Sorry, no mp3s at this time.

[WindWalker940]

@1FallingNinja is that so my fallingninja? i can, but wont >:3

[MrCragy]

@jazzgator5678 get dvd videosoft program its free and you can download video into mp3 files its amazing just type in dvd videosoft and you should get it

[ahuntsicbrave]

@jazzgator5678 get dvdvideosoft program lets you rip the mp3 off of youtube vids and convert them straight to the mp3 file you need man

[MajorP4in]

Man! d major sounds like you are in a peaceful world on the other hand d minor sounds awesome also cuz it sounds like you are ready to fight for your life! BOTH ROCK

[ColinKochevar]

nice.

[MiakeKun]

makes me want to play castlevania...

[kirov2]

It sounds more like it would fit a tragically misunderstood "villain". Someone who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its weird that thats what comes to my mind when i listen to this...

[waibes23]

great! is there a rock version for this one?..

[deathcapt]

Like the FunTwo / Jerry C version?

[darkkevinyou]

Sounds like like a funeral or a requiem. fav'd

[BurgerGrabber]

NICE composition man.

[sanakhudu21]

Hmmmmmm gothic comes to mind? love this!

[DenaDul]

The minor key gives this whole thing a very tense atmosphere making a well-known thing something compleatly new and very very interesting. Although I prefer the original version, this one ist great, too ... but (and this ist just subjective) too upbeat...

[miliori]

When you present a recording with real instruments, I'll tell you if I like it or not..

[Grave187RIP13]

Minor gives it a lot darker sound, an major makes it sound a lot happier and upbeat.

So I like this version better.

[Grobanite122549]

I love it it sounds evil >:DD

[Zanpakuto87]

muwhahahahahahaaaaaaaa

[godzillamoviesrule]

It could be the theme song for The Penguin in Batman Returns?

[Grave187RIP13]

Quite possibly? That I'm not sure of..

[SimonIsSuperHot]

@Grave187RIP13 imo, it ruins the song... pachebel didn't just write this song, he wrote it, put all his emotions in it, this version took away all the original emotions. If he wants a dark song, he should write a song himself, imo, transponating it is so easy..

[Grave187RIP13]

@SimonIsSuperHot Well you are certainly entitled your opinion and I'm not going to judge you for it. Personally I love both versions, I just think this one is unique and I like this one more.

[98kiyoko]

@Grave187RIP13 ditto

[zsgoknightyo]

reminds me of the music from sleepy hollow - those kind of films

[Grave187RIP13]

It does have kind of a Danny Elfman feel to it doesn't it?

[olejars]

Methinks I like it better than D Major

[arterranova21]

Excellent! very good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
