Slightly unrelated topic, however as you guys and gals appear to know what you are talking about I will ask anyway.... Johann Pachelbel's Canon. Is the name of the song Canon? I understand canon is the style, but am confused about the name.
A CANON is a musical form in which you have a series of variations played over a tune which is played over and over in the base part. In Pachelbel' canon you are not aware of this repetition because it is such a wonderful piece to listen to.
Next time you hear it listen for the repeating base line melody. I hope you will find it more interesting with this knowledge
@keithcb2003 A Canon is an imitative piece of music in which a subject (sometimes called the leader) is anounced in one voice and repeated in one or more voices (follower). A Round (row row row your boat) is a simple form of a canon. You do not need an ostinato (repeated) bass for a Canon.
um actually, the style is NOT a Canon... and its NOT by pachelbel. its by a student of his who put his name on it so it would get famous. it has keithcb2003 is incorrect of the definition of a canon. a canon is actually a theme that is started and immediately repeated in harmony right afterwords again and again
I don't mean to presume I know more about you on this subject but through searching Google I found a link to a Wiki page on the subject. From what I gather it was written by Johann Pachelbel and first recorded in 1940 by Arthur Fiedler. It also suggests keithbc2003 is correct in what he says regarding the repeating base line. Check it out as you see something I missed.Search classical song canon in google and go to the wiki page
@MrB4 The piece is a canon, Pachelbel's Canon is a work of a musical genius, JP wrote the Canon in the form of a Passacaglia (which have a repeated bass).
As to Pachelbel's authorship, don't believe everything you read, some idiots doubt Bach wrote the Toccata and Fugue in d minor.
A manuscript copy of the work survives, in the Berlin State Library, along with two chamber suites by J P; another copy in the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin, is now lost.
i dont balme you, its pretty confusing all together, the world of music. lolol sophisticatedf, haha yeah pachelbel named his peice Canon, as it is a canon. :D
Some good things in this piece! Pre-barogue articulation calls for more detached notes stressing melodic notes with a slightly longer duration. Keep up your good work!
i know that Johann Christoph Pachelbel was a baroque artist, i admire him alot, but i didn't understand by what he meant by pre-baroque, or your theory of "Troll" in which i still don't understand, but it really dosn't matter,
Pachelbel was an organist of medium barroque and tutor of Johan C Bach, the elder brother of J.S Bach, for this little reason som Bach musique are similar to Pachelbel composition
Truely well played performance. I for my part like listening baroque organ music - but my fingers like more other stuff :-)

A perpetual canon is a round. There are many other kinds of canons.

in some parts it reminds me Bach's BWV 552 Fugue for some reason.

I hope you all know that Bach's Fugue in D S.532 was based on this one.

What he means is he's trying to troll. Pachabel is baroque. He died in 1706. Nice piece, good to hear stuff off of the beaten path on Youtube.

He is not Pre-Baroque. It is true that his time was indeed earlier that Bach's.
