"My approach to music comes from my spiritual, optimistic outlook on life, (Lanz says). I view myself as a peacemaker, not only a composer, but someone who tries to see the best in people. Music, I think, can be used to affect positive changes in people. I suppose that makes me the consummate hopeless romantic."

  • As one of those people who is annoyed by the original Canon but love variations of it, this is DEFINITELY one of my favorite songs by DL :) good pictures too! just as a suggestion, maybe for parts that are louder or faster you could have pictures with more action, such as 3:48 or 4:02 you could have pictures with larger waves to go with the grander part of the song? just a thought :) but awesome collection anyway :)

    PS- 4:21 and 6:30 are amazingly hard with the 16th notes >.< i just got the book

  • @bedmonkey94 Thank you for your honest thoughts. I give you right about the transition thing with the pictures, just that this video i made it from very first time i ever played with a video editor, that should be like almost 3 years ago (i had other channel 3 years before where i had this videos).. you can see the difference in my latest videos. I promised myself a re-edit but couldn't find the time.. hope soon.

  • This is beautifully done Thank you...I have loved this piece of music since forever...David Lanz's works wether Big Sur or this are incomparable..:-)

  • I love David Lanz...........such beautiful music

  • I know one thing..I will always Love this song..! :)

  • I Love this piece of music it's amazing, David Lanz is a genius.

  • @nutty44nate Hmmm ..... I guess there are a couple of photos three and a half minutes into it that have a tropical look to them (plus a polar bear at 8:39). Still, the overwhelming majority look like Lanz's home state of Washington.

  • @wmlfan9 gee nice tropical islands you've got over there :P

  • @leparditas

    Variations are when the original idea, or theme, is repeated in an altered form, whether altered via melodic or rhythmic or harmonic interpretation. It's not called an actual canon because you have to have multiple 'voices' playing, which are slightly different and over the top of the other for it to be canonic. You can hear it really well in the violin sections of Orchestral interpretations of Pachabel's canon.

    A remix combines pre-recorded samples of the original song.

  • Amazing! You managed to match the beauty of the sound with the beauty of nature. Excellent selections of photos! I don’t want it to end, ever. This is where everyone should be. Thank you immensely!

  • The only thing that disheartens me about this song is that it only has 130k views.
