  • I heard this Pachelbel variation for the first time when I was listening to a Christmas radio station the other day. Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful, inspiring video along with the lyrics. Part of what makes the song so special is that is sung by children.

    I hope to see it performed in person some day. Great post!

  • This is my wedding song :o)

  • Thank you for including the lyrics on this video. While I've heard and enjoyed the music in this piece before I could not understand the lyrics. Being able to read them makes the song so much more special. What a beautiful tribute to the true spirit of Christmas.

  • What a masterpiece. TSO are the best and the creators are from heavy metal back rounds. Good for them and proving once again metals place in musical history and putting together a timeless classic as this, and proving that they are true musicians!

  • Great! Our churches will sing it this Christmas.

  • Today is the first day of December.. Happy December 1st everyone.. :)

  • The instrumental of this song was a free ringtong with my boost mobile phone. I set it to my favorite 80 dealer. He always came through but now 80s are gone and so is he. Somtimes when i hear this song I think of him decending from the heavens with a bag of 80s, He looks like prince irl. This song will always hold a spot in my heart.

  • Beautiful!

    

  • "We are waiting. We have not forgotten..." No, we have not forgotten our beloved savior on this special day. We still wait for him. I, too, have big smiles for all of you out there. Those in need of a smile or a hug, or those who just like to accept them and spread love around the world. Merry Christmas to all.

  • Just beautiful!!!

  • i bet you're wrong in your description of the video. "many thousands of other people" it should be "millions of people"

  • On December 22, 2007 I walked down the isle to this song! :o) LOVE!

  • i love this version of pachelbel canon and it makes me be touched (cry)

    T_T

    it happened in my car since i heard it.

  • Out of respect for this song I only listen to it in the Holiday Season so as not to ruin the emotional high this song brings me. It is THE most beautiful song I have ever heard or will ever hear. When I hear this song, it makes me think that maybe there is hope for this world yet. A little research reveals Christmas is NOT in fact Jesus birthday. It is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. It does state 'around harvest time' however. Keeping it real. :~)

  • @TheT551

    No one ever claimed it was Jesus' birth date, lol. It's simply the celebration of Christ's birth.

  • @HektorAnasthainomai How true. If only that was what people celebrated at Christmas time. Unfortunately most children are not taught the proper heritage to the Holidays they enjoy.

  • @TheT551

    How right you are, brother

  • Love it.....i can feel the cold air but warm in the heart...amazing...

  • very, very amazing!!! I love child's choirs, but we can't forget that christmas is Jesus birthday and not the day of money. I will try to remember too this year and the next.... I would not like that my family forget my birthday because other distraction. Just we need to remember that and God will be happy with us.

  • I keep it in my favorites so I can enjoy it any time I want.

  • Who would not want Christmas to start?!?! I LOVE Christmas time!! And this makes me think tht there is still joy and peace n the world with all this cruelty!!(i dont think i spelled tht right but o well!!) (:

  • Just finished arranging this for my band, choir, and orchestra. It's going to be an awesome concert!

  • today is the day after halloween nd this touched my heart

  • I'm in tears

    This song makes Christmas even better.

  • Merry Christmas To ALL! and to all you 30 dislikes NO PRESENTS!

  • I so love X-Mas...I can't wait...It's by far the best time of the year!!...

    Merry Christmas to all!!

  • This is 1 of my favorite songs from TSO. Thanks for sharing and the neat intro with the steam engine. Merry Christmas to all, no matter what time of year it is. Jesus lives in all of us!

  • Apparently 30 people don't know what beautiful music is.

  • This is the most anglical piece of music and song. No matter what time of year I hear it- it gives me peace of the Christmas Season. The peace that we will one day know forever as the angels in heaven sing and play this. I look forward to hearing it in concert every year at the TSO concert in Atlanta GA. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy it on earth!!

  • thank you so very much I truly love this piece of music

  • beautiful...its nice to hear this kind of music :)

  • simply awesome

  • Maravilloso!!! Éste es el espíritu !

  • I love it...It may be august but it makes me feel as though its Christmas!!

  • who the hell is that lady they keep showing??!?

  • So beautiful!

    

  • I really love canon!!! It's always the first piece I play whenever i get to a piano.

  • Savatage rules!!!

  • 1:39 OMG it's Steve Coogan

  • cannon rock is way better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great music reached at a high level; TSO should continue their business indefinitely.

  • Oh, this is so beautiful!:~~)

  • Youtube has a limit to the number of letters in a post. read them all starting with the one at the bottom

  •  but in this one, untainted, clean and pure song, they have successfully captured so much of one of the most touching parts of my life. I encourage the world to listen. to take some 4:24 minutes out of your day, and think about life, think about the purpose of this song, and the true meaning of the Christmas season. "May God bless us, Every one"

  • Perhaps the most wondrous aspect of this song it the orchestra behind it. I am an avid supporter of old age classical and romantic age music, and TSO tends to produce songs that I find to be a slap across the face of true music,

  • I am nearly a Christmas addict. it is such a religious season that everyone can be involved in. so yes, in the middle of june I will be blaring Carol of the Bells in my front lawn, and I am proud to do it. It is the deep, beautiful, and heart rending songs of the season that endure it to the hearts of so many individuals including myself.

  • this honistly is my favorite song of all time i first herd this song at the play "a christmas carrol" and im unbeliveably moved whenever i hear this song

  • I know the trans siberian orchestra btw just broke a world record

  • is there one without the kids? just instrumental... and bith some base quitar?

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

  • WHY AM I LISTENING TO THIS IN APRIL?

    ANSWER: BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST SONG IN THE WORLD!!

  • I'm Sarah. I loved it. It's so relaxing!

  • @Concertchoir76 It is that, even when playing the song on a piano it's very relaxing because it's a very easy and relaxing piece to play.

  • Always love them, but could have done without the singing

  • Aww i want to be one of those kids who sings. They have such beautiful voices.

    *cries of joy*

  • This is one of my favorite CHristmas songs.I first heard it when I was 16.I was being bullied at school and abused at home, I had lost my grandpa and had attempted suicide for the first time. So I wasn't into CHristmas.Butr whenever I heard this song, I had a more positive outlook.The power and need for music.

  • I have this for clarinet in low octave. Thumbs up if you are a clarinet player and want it.

  • Sorry, it is, there's just something at the beginning! Oops! :)

  • That's not the real Christmas Canon, when you search Christmas Canon, the first one that comes up is the real one, I'm not saying I don't like this song, it's just the wrong one.

  • 28 grinches dislike this song.

  • @tritanopia We're up to 30 ! Go figure.

  • Thanks for posting this is the best!

  • the children are just wonderful..like angels singing

  • Sublime beauty.

  • The original "song" (actually a composition) is called "Canon in D" by Johann Pachelbel. There is also a modern electric-guitar version called Canon Rock by Funtwo/JerryC. Keep in mind that what I'm talking about is a composition, I believe the lyrics were made by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Also, I'm talking about the main song, not the very beginning song of the video.

  • how is this song called ?

    i mean is this a cover of an old song ?

    the beginning of this song is like the beginning of another one and i just have to know how this song is called because my teacher wants to know it next lesson ;)

  • @vulkankiller Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major might be what you are referring to.

  • i had a great MAC-V-SOG vet from the Vietnam War

    he said that this was his favorite song ever

    Better than CCR's Fortunate son

    and he was killed by a IRA car bomb while listening to it

  • If Pachelbel were looking down at this performance from heaven, i'm really sure he would be smiling!

  • How can 27 people hate this beautiful thing??? But that's one point. My other one is that even though it's not Chritmasy around the area anymore and not the month, I still love the music to listen to!!!! Thumbs up if you agree with my agreement! X3 LOL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥~/-/a^^!

  • it's like pachelbel's canon suits any occasion. christmas, weddings, church activities etc. etc. amazing!

  • Amazing!!!!!

  • so beautiful it brings a tear to the eye

  • I visit OFTEN to listen to the voices of angels, the strings/piano, all to Pachelbel's Cannon! Truly can bring a tear to the eye!

  • Not to  sound rude,or insulting, but I enjoy this version much, much more than the rock version, this one just has so much more, spirit and feeling :) These are some amazing kids and I have never heard any voice just as angelic than these ones! Well done!

  • This song is so beautiful, I bet that I will still be listening to this in July and after! Christmas is my most favorite time of year, and I can't imagine that changing! Everyone, have a wonderful Christmas! God Bless!

  • Does anyone know who the Gentleman and the young lady looking at the show are ?

  • i love this version ...the kids make it the best

  • Christmas went by so fast. :'( I love this song! I'm learning how to play it and me and my friends say this is a beautiful song! And one of my best friends love playing this! It's so much fun! I can play almost all of what I have to play! :D I play violin and when I saw what the string bass does, they've got only like, 10 notes on their sheets. I have at least 39 or more.

  • Praise God for His Son Jesus Christ! :D Thank You, Dear God, for Your salvation through Your Son Jesus Christ! :D Thank you, London, for sharing this video with me!

  • I really that Christmas is over, but, why is it that this song still rings in my ears throughout my working days...Like a long lost ghost?!!!

  • 27 Have been killed by a Canon

  • I love this video! My teacher showed it to my class I heard it on the radio! I still love it!

    very beatiful they do a terrefic job I mea Trans Siberian Orchestra!

  • I love this video! My teacher showed it to my class I heard it on the radio! I still love it!!

  • 27 ppl have no life

  • Trans-Siberian Orchestra ROCKS. Everything they do is amazing.

  • This is a very beautiful song. I like this one better than the rock version, but the rock version is still good :) I do not know why anyone would dislike this. Maybe the people who disliked it were touched so much by it that they were dissapointed. These children have the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. The first time this came on the radio, I almost cried my eyes out. I'm so happy I have heard this song.

  • if you get a chance,,,watching them live in concert,,,is so badass,there are no words to do them justice...

  • Looked and looked and finally found it. Rock version was good but no other way to describe this than perfect! Peaceful and melodic. Makes you melt. Today is my birthday, perfect present!

  • I heard this song on the radio this year for the first time, 2 days before Christmas. Didn't know the name or anything, but googled some of the lyrics - thank heaven for google!! This is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard... just love the violin, piano, and children singing. Great video too, love the train along with the rest of it. Also downloaded this song to my smartphone - fell asleep to it last night. Love it!!!

  • Actually I like their performance so count me in for those who like the music.

  • Just one word beautiful

  • people say that the kids voices are annoying. to me they just make me well up inside, it sounds so peaceful and beautiful

  • How can anyone not like this AMAZING PEICE AOF MUSICAL ART? There is simply no word for how great this song is or the children singing it. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. I never liked the orchestra (except for the violin which i have always loved listening to) until this came out. Now I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • Cool!

  • The childrens' choir sounded GREAT!

  • I was moved to tears. Thank you for posting.

  • I love the video, never saw it until today, I have to know, what theater was it recorded in? I cant seem to find any information on the video or song. Does anyone know?

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. What a great day to it, on His birthday.

  • 26 people are unsupervised kids playing on-line or just stupid people plain and simple!

  • The Best!!

  • Merry Christmas from Palomino Valley, NV.

    This song has always seamed to touch my heart everytime I listen to it here and on the radio. For some reason, I like this way more over the rock version. This really brings out the Christmas spirit in such a relaxing way out of everyone.

  • Merry Christmas frm Albany New York

  • TSO is truly amazing!

  • My favorite Christmas song. I dedicate this song to my former student, John, who past away this year from a brain tumor. Love you John

  • I will always get shivers and begin to tear up when I hear this song. There will never be a greater thing of beauty than the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's comprehension of music and spirit.

  • Merry Christmas!

  • As a jew I am completely satisfied with this song. Its this or hannukah oh hannukah :)

  • "Eat Child"

  • Merry Christmas. :)

  • OMG this song is AMAZING!!!!!! I am utterly mesmerized by it.

  • OMG this song is AMAZING!!!!!!

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • TSO writes incredible music. and not just the Christmas stuff....check out Beethoven's Last Night

  • Thank you, thank you for this! Absolutely beautiful. I love this song and listening to the words, absorbing their importance, and just letting it touch your heart and soul for the VERY reason of Christmas is more than moving, it is enlightening. Absolutely beautiful...

  • Merry Christmas, everyone!

  • damn... possibly the most beautiful song in the world...i think so.

  • Canon has always been my favorite, the fact that these amazing children sang it beautifully made it even more special.

  • I've been searching for this song for a while. Ver beautiful. Merry Christmas to all.

  • Beautiful song. TSO does a good job of straddling the sacred versus secular line with this song. The lyrics (while sounding beautiful) so very indirectly refer to or express the biblical Christmas story. They say “Merry Christmas” and use “He”. Note the words Jesus, God, Savior, etc. are not used. But it is certainly beautiful and more religious than “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.

  • Eu adorei!...

    Trens são lindos, simpáticos de qualquer forma.

    Me sinto viajando dentro dele, serpenteando pelos trilhos...

    Que lindo!

    Feliz Natal a todos!

  • This song is so, so beautiful. It's my 2nd most favorite Christmas song. Happy Holidays, everyone!

  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this song.

  • @hiroshifuntime I so agree. It's the theme to the Dachshund Memorial Garden where my buddy went 5 years ago!

  • Absolutely beautiful!!

  • I saw the TSO in concert last year and their songs were just beautiful. The light show was awesome. At the end, they had a keyboard showdown. Merry Christmas.

  • jpwipf -- this is the most touching version of all. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas.
