Title: Variations on the Kanon [Canon] by Johann Pachelbel...
Post by: Enigmatic Entity on March 09, 2009, 05:13:34 am
...because there are so many versions. What do you you think is the best version on the original "Canon" by Johann Pachelbel? [including the original if you think so]. Also, list any songs that are based on the song.

Some starters:

Johann Pachelbel - Canon [in D major]
George Winston - Variations on the Kanon by Johann Pachelbel [in D major?]

I also discovered that the song "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys has a similar sounding tune to it...

I have to jump in here. I now refuse to play this piece, and threaten a plague upon those who do.

Canon is overplayed. And also turned into suck due to re-interpretations, IMHO.

I counter with Far Beyond the Sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMXbsLV4cXU) and the violin cover thereof (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5NBMXrE2bg&feature=related). :pimp:

When Kanon was mentioned, I was thinking of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA_5aD7M8HM). :p Video doesn't have translated lyrics though.

Atually, you're all wrong. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM) is the only appropriate Youtue link for this thread. :D
