It's all recycled.
I guess you Canon stand it any more.
ouch
if you were to stop the bells, you'd get the "No Bell Peace Price"
worth a ping to the list?
If it ain't baroque, don't fix it.
Pachebel is the reason over half the American marriages end in divorce. You hear it at your wedding... your wife's sister's wedding... your wife's niece's wedding... your aunt's third wedding...
And it's not played by a professional... no way...
It's always played by some 14 year old distant relative whose been taking violin for two years and is using the wedding as a chance to practice... half the notes are out of tune... or too fast... or too slow... or the wrong melody...
Darn you to heck Pachebel!!!!!!!

"Pachelbel...the 300th best composer of his era"
"At best, Pachelbel was a third-rate baroque nonentity who occasionally rose to the level of second rate in some of his organ music. And while the Kanon was composed more than a century before Napoleon showed the world what really heavy ordnance could do, it still unquestionably qualifies as a large bore.

Dear EveningStar,
Sorry, I know it's very much overplayed, but I like this piece of music. ;-)
That being said, the youtube piece at the link is just a scream! We're all here laughing!!
sitetest
I like it!! ;-)
It's my favorite piece of classical music.
I thank God everyday the Beethoven was deaf because surely if he had heard Pachelbel's Canon he would have killed himself on the spot and the world would be denied its greatest symphonies.
Have you never heard Beethoven nor Mozart?
Pachelbel is way down on my Liszt. I just can't Handel him.
