The term canon is often used to describe a form of composition in which two or more voices follow in imitation of each other, often in an overlapping format. The bass line consists of a two measure ostinato (a short melodic phrase that is repeated) and serves as the foundation for the 28 variations which follow. Pachelbel composed his chamber music, Canon in D, for three violins and bass continuo, and it is likely that he composed this piece in the 1690s while he was the organist of St Sebald, Nuremberg.

Ambrosius asked Pachelbel to teach music to his son, Johann Christoph Bach (Johann Christoph later taught music to his younger brother, Johann Sebastian Bach.). 04:08 Canon in D (Variation).mscz This is a fun and easy one to play. It is interesting to note that while working in the Erfurt as an organist, teacher and composer, Pachelbel became friends with Ambrosius Bach, the father of Johann Sebastian Bach. His organ chorales and sacred vocal music are considered significant contributions to Protestant church music. Pachelbel composed music for organ, voice, harpsichord, and chamber ensembles, and the majority of his music was composed for church services. If you want, the piece can be played as a flute duet or trio: all you need to do is to play multiple instances of the flute part at two bars' distance.Īmerican film director Robert Redford used the piece as the main theme for his 1980 Academy Award-winning film Ordinary People.Canon in D was composed by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), a German organist, teacher and composer. In our arrangement we adapted the first voice to the range of the flute, leaving the second and the third voice with the original melody. There are 28 repetitions of the ground bass in total. The canon becomes increasingly dense towards the middle of the piece as the note values become shorter afterwards, the piece gradually returns to a less complex structure as the note values lengthen once more. The three voices then follow one another at two bars' distance until the end of the piece. Then the third voice commences the canon, whilst the second voice plays the third and fourth bars and the flute continues with the fifth and sixth. At this point, the second voice enters with the beginning of the melody, whilst the flute continues with the next two bars of the canon. In the beginning, the flute plays the first two bars of the canon's melody. The actual canon is played by three voices over the ground bass. It became very popular in the late 1970s through a famous recording by the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra. The piece, whose score was discovered and first published in the 1920s, and first recorded in 1940 by Arthur Fiedler, is particularly well known for its chord progression, and is played at weddings and included on classical music compilation CDs.
