Christmas Canon Rock (Cover) - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

[tubeaddict718]

johan pachelbel the original 1 hit wonder

[mystiquesword]

@100wekinzfangirl thats because it actually has no lyrics. "christmas canon" is actually something like a cover song in that it uses pachebel as its background, adding lyrics by a children's choir.

your song for the wedding would be "pachebel in canon D" made just under 400 years ago. classical & instrumental, having nothing to do with christmas; though, whoever used it for a christmas song backdrop had really good taste :)

@mystiquesword yep. i learned the pachebel thing in school today. i just wish this was the orginal because this song is awesome.

[beebeautiful101]

[timmypish]

it sux. sounds so fake. 

[zoidberg96913]

@timmypish What about your mom....Yeah.....foo shut the hell up.

[david11893]

lots of people use it in weddings but its really based on christmas

[timmypish]

@david11893 not really, its actually the other way around.

[mystiquesword]

@david11893 actually no. the "christmas canon" is NOT the original. "pachebel's canon in D" is. johann pachebel wrote it in the 1680's...meaning the tune is just under 400 years old. like all classical music, it is instrumental. also like all classical music, it is long, over 6 minutes. recently some people took that piece & added lyrics by a childrens choir to it, using pachebel as a background. hence "christmas canon" but its only around 3 or 4 minutes. pachebel is a great one for weddings.

FFTL3331 You seem more than a little Arrogant. The guy here did a solid fine job. Instead of knocking him, why not enjoy and be a part of the POSITIVE community.

[lilgurl171]

does anyone know the name of the childrens choir who do this?

[hootes]

The Brooklyn (NY) Children's Choir

[cally149]

Well, that's not in the spirit of TSO.

[Seattlecarnut]

It sounds like it's more rock guitar and electric keyboard. I love this song. Keep up the good work.

[JMGuitarKiller]

I am planning on doing the same thing. May i ask how you go the drums? The first solo sounds awesome!

[tdog342]

nice audio

[FederalRebel1991]

GOOD JOB!!!!!

[kickersrule84]

I remember TSO playing this live about 2 years ago. I can't believe you did all of this separate and by yourself. My high school choir tried playing this and it wasn't easy. Did you go to school for recording?
