Pachelbel's Canon, also known as the Canon in D, is an "accompanied canon" by the German Baroque composer, Johann Pachelbel. An "accompanied canon," by definition, is an accompaniment by one or more additional independent parts that do not imitate the melody. I've played this piece on piano since I was little. Most people have heard this canon at weddings.
This particular choral recording is from the movie, Ordinary People. It is so beautiful & gentle... one of my very favorite classical pieces.
saw a post about musical similarities between welcome to the black parade & pachelbel's canon in d (aka the most classic harp piece of all time) and well. i was inspired
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) - Canon & Gigue for 3 Violins and Basso continuo in D-Major, II. Gigue. Performed by Harmonie Universelle on period instruments.
i hate those tik tok videos which are like imagine walking down to the aisle at your wedding to the pokemon theme or some other song and then it's just pachelbel's canon in d and then a pause and then a soft piano version of whatever the song is played in d
Hiromi Uehara is a joy to watch as she dances across a piano’s keys doing her thing. Uehara is a Japanese Jazz composer who seamlessly blends different genres in her compositions. This is an example of her doing just that. Uehara takes Pachelbel's Canon in directions he never imagined and one that probably irritates classical purists. The jazz is gradually introduced as Uehara heats up her hands and I dig what she does around the 5:25 mark or so where she really lets that virtuoso reputation she has shine. Watching her enjoy herself as she jams out is icing on the cake.
