This piece was a favorite of my late spouse: 46 years of marriage, now dead almost two years. We used to listen to it together. Now it is a piece in memorium. Frequently, my tears will stream as I listen to it. Thank you for a great performance.
@@georgettewolf6743 Your ex obviously had good taste ! Eventually I hope you will both listen to this beautiful music together again and you both cry with happiness.
The irony-- hearing this glorious music as it was meant to be played on original Baroque instruments... yet watching on a smartphone. How lucky we are. Not many were lucky enough to see or hear this music when it was composed. We are SO lucky and blessed to hear all the stages of instrumental music throughout the centuries. That fact is never lost on me. Thank you for posting this magnificent piece.

This is why some music will live forever: they touch people somewhere inside and make them cry for no apparent reason. This is the definition of a masterpiece and one of the best expressions of the human being. Outstanding.
I'm just a bloke that grew up on a Newcastle council estate and classical music was never around me until I heard this stunningly beautiful piece of magic! I now have an eclectic range of music but always like to have at least an hour of classical music every few days just to appreciate genius like this...
Just came across it and I'm currently at a very dark place in life but after hearing it I've done a much needed crying now I'm able to see hope. Thank you for this beautiful piece
I fall in love with your violinist the one in red i herd playing the summer and winter de vivaldi and i still without belive she is amazing and btw your recorder is excelkent too
Voices of Music Thank you for your detailed explanation. I have directed videos with musicians of virtually all instruments, brass and string quartets as well as full orchestras for several decades. Thank you for your time.
this is my most frequently viewed video on youtube. And how generous is the owner of this video who did not add any ads to the video, you would have made a lot of money if you did.
It's damn hard to compose a canon, it's even more hard to compose a delightful and beautiful canon, but the hardest one is to compose a canon like this piece, which have been listened and loved for past 300 years. Johann Pachelbel, an absolute genius.
Thanks to everyone for the -seven- *17,000,000* views, w00t! And special thanks to the amazing musicians who played so beautifully. To infinity and beyond!
What is it about this piece that brings tears to my eyes? Is it the emotion poured into the playing, or the way the melody goes or the combination of all the instruments.
As a veteran I fight conflicts within myself frequently. I can't express the amount of peace, solice and tranquility your music has brought me in my darkest hours in the time I've been subscribed to your page. Thank you.
This was my introduction to classical music quite by mistake, but one of the best and most beautiful mistakes have ever made. I like yourself Mr Conrey have served in the armed forces and this soothes me and transports me to other worldly places of serene tranquility .
Seven years ago I lost my mother. On my birthday, a day like today, I mourned her with this piece of music. Since then, I listen to you guys for it touches every abstract part of my inner being. Thanks... eternally.
Am I the only soul that weeps tears of joy while listening to this beautiful masterpiece? I cannot contain this flood of emotion. It is so wonderful to hear, and personally, I think this is how the song was always meant to be played. None compare to this version of one of my all time favorites! None!
this song feels like the sunrise. I can literally feel the skin on my face gently warming up to a point where I feel all fuzzy and happy inside. I can't help but smile everytime I listen to it
The most lovely, inspiring piece of classical music I've every heard..makes me miss my beautiful, loving Mom..she used to play this when we lived in Europe when I was a child..I've never forgotten this heavenly music....to me, it's "other-worldly" and always brings me to tears..I believe it's because it reminds me of my loving Mother..It's been 37 years since she passed..
This is very lovely, I am a pianist/music teacher/church musician, and have played and taught various versions of this piece but since I love early music, my father was a musicologist and music librarian/composer this is great to have students hear the piece played on original type instruments. Thank you!
This was my father's absolute favorite thing to listen to after a long day, to wind down. It always visibly relaxed him. He would simply close his eyes and melt. Everything.
From childhood, baroque music has always resonated with me; however, I could never quite like Pachelbel's Canon in D Major... until I heard Voices of Music's performance. It's wonderful, there's a warmth and delicacy that I've never heard before; the violins seem to dance around the bass, theorbo and organ. Just beautiful, I love it! Thank you X
This was the very video that started my love of baroque amd classical music when i was eleven years old. Now, just four years later, im about to audition for a place at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Thank you VOM for inspiring me!
I'll never understand why, but classical music, especially strings, moves me in such a deep, profound and emotional way. I may loose my Man Card for this, but I tear up when I hear a beautiful piece like this is played with such feeling and soul. Thank you!
this was played at me dads funeral when i was young. i havent heard it in years.... even now 22 years on this music goes straight into my soul and reminds me off so many good and bad memories. beautifully played thank you
This is, without a doubt, the best performance of this piece that I have ever heard. Full stop. Canon in D is ubiquitous: we have all heard it dozens of times in varying styles. This performance stands above the rest both in terms of skill and in the performers' fidelity to the piece's original structure and intent. This is a brilliant rendition of a wonderful piece and I consider myself to be extremely lucky to have stumbled upon it. Thank you!
To think that this is what the piece sounded like back then.....and we have the privilege of hearing it in the 21st century?? Absolutely incredible. Well done (as always) Voices of Music!
today is my birthday and i have no one to celebrate me except my dad. this song really hugs my soul and made me cry.. my wish on this day is that the pandemic will end soon.. It makes me cry while listening to this.. it really wishes me happy birthday.
I remember this a looong time ago, in my youth watching Cosmos with the great Carl Sagan... I always thought this is the most moving and beautiful piece of music ever created. Then in my teens I turned into pure rock, prog, punk, zappa, etc., but I always kept this in my head. Now, many years later, I return to the classics. Hooked on classics.
Since I found this recording earlier this year, this is the one I send all my piano students to watch, to hear how it's REALLY supposed to sound! Just wonderful, and on the period instruments, it's a treat to hear! My student today couldn't get over how a musician that died over 300 years ago could have music that is still so beautiful and still so popular! She's learning that good music never goes out of style! :D
I play this for my baby almost everyday when she was in my belly.. and it surprised me since she was born, this makes her smile each time. on the otherhand Bach Jesu joy of man's desiring makes her emotional.... babies are moved by music!!!
We take this for granted it would have been a rarity to watch, to see and most importantly hear this masterpiece even in the days of Mozart and now with just a click of a button and no money well spent you can listen. Just think about that for a minute
YES! This is what Canon in D should be!! It's FAST, not slow. People play this wonderful song at weddings and drag it out soooooo long. It's supposed to be peppy! It's a baroque dance, ffs lol! It was never supposed to be slow, and this group has NAILED it. They sound amazing, and I love the little embellishments here and there. Shows a great depth of understanding of the baroque style. Beautiful!
This is just the most gorgeous thing in existence. Every 3-6 months, I’m hit with a spontaneous desire to listen to this recording. Every time I listen, it just gets more and more powerful than the last. I think it’s too bad that this has become a “wedding song,” to the point where it would feel out of place in any other setting.
Been searching for such a version with instrumentalists just to see how on earth it is possible to move your hand so fast while playing the violin (the fast part of the song) 👏
😢realized how much I loved my mother hearing this symphony play at 14,she past this past December 😢I love U MOM AND I MISS THE 1ST VOICE AND 1ST LOVE I TRULY HAD😢
We had two cats, one sweet and one a little devil (but we loved her also). Whenever she heard this piece, she would stop whatever destructive thing she was doing and come into the room from wherever she was, plop herself down and chill out.
i found this version when i was 12 in 2013. i am now 23. and this still the only version i listen to at least 5x a month 11 years later. just soooo beautiful 💕💕💕
After all these years, this version still remains the best and the original. I haven't counted how many times I have watched this video, but definitely more than once daily since 2010.
@@VoicesofMusic Same here, I have been listening to this version over and over for years and it has always inspired me. Your precision and grace in the execution here is simply masterful. Thank you for your amazing work as musicians
We should all be thanking the following: the one who wrote it, the ones whom are playing & the one who recorded and uploaded ❤️❤️🙌🏼 True piece of art 😍
I started ballet lessons at 5 years of age. This was one of my teachers' favorite pieces, and quickly became mine. I love listening to it with full orchestra, but this is lovely. In the 2000s, it was the go-to wedding march.
Ngl, this Is the best version that I've heard, and oh so much better than the slow & boring ones I hear in weddings. And wow I just noticed that this is posed over 12 years ago and the quality is sooo good!
A much maligned work by today’s modern performers for its ubiquitousness (through no fault of Pachelbel), but makes a profound case for itself every time, when performed as intended. Thank you for this performance VoM! I love your videos!
I'd say the most profound and poignant aspect of this beautiful song its its impact on so many artists and genres due to said transcendal ubiquitousness. You may not like some of the replications or inspirations of/from it, but the boundary breaking nature of the piece is one of the reasons music today is as as great and diverse as it is
In short, I assiduously avoid this piece. But this performance held me spellbound. The combination of togetherness and of individuality of voices, the subtle effect of the temperament (tuning) used to create a sound of true consonance, the sense of life and breath -- all just marvelous. Thank you!
+Kimberly Ourlian You asked WHY I wrote "In short, I assiduously avoid this piece." Well, I was TRYING to be diplomatic, as I know it is well loved. By other people, not me. The reason I avoid Pachelbel's canon is that I HATE THE BLOODY THING!! It is (so often) tedious, sentimental, repetitive, trite.... having such a short simple ostinato bass makes it inherently hard to avoid monotony, but then there's also that slow boring "melody" - just a simple scale that goes down for no reason then back up for no reason over and over like a 4-year old at the piano, and the trite little faster motives that provide an uninteresting so called "counterpoint", all over the same boring chords over and over and over... Should I take a nap? Or just kill myself? Only a few performances -- such as this marvelous one and Musica Antiqua Köln's spritely one -- provide any light. I know the guy wrote some good music (the accompanying gigue is rather fun) but it takes real skill to make me enjoy the canon.
I had never herd of this piece until my daughter chose it for her wedding day march down the aisle ,it is the most peacfull and beautiful piece of music i have ever herd ,Bravo.
wow, to say that was amazing is a gross understatement! that is the closest to perfection I have ever heard of any group of people playing together. you must of all been born with internal metronomes. you have my utmost respect :-D
So strange I just randomly happened to want to listen to this song in its most beautiful form and this video looked humble yet full of talent. Looking at the comments a bunch are within the last few days it’s like so many people wanted to find a small moment of peace like me. It kinda cheers me up, feels like we’re all not as lone as we feel so many times.
I love watching this video more than anything. I must have seen it a thousand times. My 2 year old is sat next to me glued to the screen. Thank you so much for this version. It’s the best I’ve ever come across:-)
I've heard Pachelbel Canon in D so many times. So many versions. I should be exhausted. Why I can't hate this? Why is so timeless, why is its effect on me so perfect? I can't help it. It still touch my soul in ways no other theme can.
This piece will one day be played at my service. I’ve already picked a few songs and this is the first one ☝️ I chose. It’s hauntingly beautiful 🌹🌹🌹 absolute masterpiece 🎵🎵🎵
Many modern musicians have played this piece with flashy techniques and wide vibrato. But this is how it would be played back when Pachelbel was alive, this would be the closet to what he wanted. Great interpretation
Noone knows how it was played at the time, or how Pachelbel intended it. We don't have recordings , and notation and other writings we might have access to are not and cannot be exact. So every performance is an interpretation based on the things we can know and the performers personal taste. So how close is it to the original performance? We don't know, and I personally don't care much. I just enjoy it ;-)
Thank you for your generous and stunning works. I am actually really happy that your channel starts to use the UA-cam donation system ... which I can use and pay (from Taiwan) a small money (which i could afford) to show my respect and appreciation. Thank you !!
Iba manejando por carretera subiendo a la montaña, llevaba en el sonido música barroca, y de repente comenzó el Canon de Johannes Pachelbel. Meditabundo, paisaje, recuerdos, circunstancias estimularon mis lagrimales desde lo más profundo de mi ser. No podía evitarlo, lloraba que tuve que orillarme para evitar un percance. Fue una experiencia tan, pero tan extenuante de emoción que tuve la sensación haber padecido un vahido. Al paso del tiempo, no puedo mas que decir que esa experiencia emotiva me la explico a la única razón de haber experimentado lo que se debomina "El Síndrome de Stendhal". Y me lo explico así, ya que el síntoma tuvo por peculiaridad quedar pasmado por una gran obra de arte, como ésta maravillosa pieza musical que nos legó Pachelbel. Gracias Johannes Pachelbel por tu maravilloso regalo. Saludos a los amantes del arte desde Guanajuato Mx....
If you look at the motions of these 3 women you will see that they are incredibly professional violinist this is a wonderful rendition of an incredible piece of music
Still the most beautiful music I've ever heard..Lived in Germany as a child; Mom played this on a 33-1/3 LP record..I'm 76 now and can't resist playing this heavenly music many times in a row..and so very often..I'd love to find a partner who feels the same..
A beuautifuly filmed piece of one of the best pieces of music ever written. The lighting is superb does an incedible job of showing which violin is playing what part which is the key to the energy of the piece.
Still beautiful :)
Indeed. Still beautiful.
Sooooo beautiful!!
Definitely :)
Extremely! I can't say how many times I've listened to this, quite a few 😊👍🙏
Indeeed
This piece was a favorite of my late spouse: 46 years of marriage, now dead almost two years. We used to listen to it together. Now it is a piece in memorium. Frequently, my tears will stream as I listen to it. Thank you for a great performance.

It's taken me 41 years to realise how amazingly beautiful classical music is. Im so pleased i have truly found it.
Beautiful performance, I'm 70 years old and first heard this from my Elementary School Teacher Miss Glen. I've loved it since I was 8 years old
I'm almost 79, but does that matter? Why not say; the tempo is too slow? Its a canon!
This is why some music will live forever: they touch people somewhere inside and make them cry for no apparent reason. This is the definition of a masterpiece and one of the best expressions of the human being. Outstanding.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It could be called a passacaglia, or even a variant of a romanesca, but it also is a three part canon.
Just discovered this video -- a truly happy if belated find! -- and as always a delight.
What a gorgeous rendition.

Take that a video ..
Pachelbel's Canon in D Major is one of my all time favorite pieces of music and this version is brilliant.

Dziękuję Panu Bogu, że dał mi zmysł słuchu abym rozkoszował się tak cudowną muzyką
A much maligned work by today’s modern performers for its ubiquitousness (through no fault of Pachelbel), but makes a profound case for itself every time, when performed as intended. Thank you for this performance VoM! I love your videos!
I'd say the most profound and poignant aspect of this beautiful song its its impact on so many artists and genres due to said transcendal ubiquitousness. You may not like some of the replications or inspirations of/from it, but the boundary breaking nature of the piece is one of the reasons music today is as as great and diverse as it is
Well, it's not his fault he wrote something so good it got overplayed and ripped off by every pop group in existence.
Incredible!! Still gives me goosebumps. I had this as I walked down the aisle
Wow, 10⁷ views! Thanks, everyone!
Well done
Encantador. ..Gratidão!!!! Gratidão !!!! Gratidão!!!! Conexão com altos planos através dessa Música Maravilhosa !!!!!
Um, random question... but is this royalty free? Nice music by the way!
You deserve them!
you're welcome andwith such a beautiful performance was there ever any doubt? :)
In short, I assiduously avoid this piece. But this performance held me spellbound. The combination of togetherness and of individuality of voices, the subtle effect of the temperament (tuning) used to create a sound of true consonance, the sense of life and breath -- all just marvelous. Thank you!
+jsbrules You are very welcome!
+Kimberly Ourlian You asked WHY I wrote "In short, I assiduously avoid this piece." Well, I was TRYING to be diplomatic, as I know it is well loved. By other people, not me. The reason I avoid Pachelbel's canon is that I HATE THE BLOODY THING!! It is (so often) tedious, sentimental, repetitive, trite.... having such a short simple ostinato bass makes it inherently hard to avoid monotony, but then there's also that slow boring "melody" - just a simple scale that goes down for no reason then back up for no reason over and over like a 4-year old at the piano, and the trite little faster motives that provide an uninteresting so called "counterpoint", all over the same boring chords over and over and over... Should I take a nap? Or just kill myself? Only a few performances -- such as this marvelous one and Musica Antiqua Köln's spritely one -- provide any light. I know the guy wrote some good music (the accompanying gigue is rather fun) but it takes real skill to make me enjoy the canon.

+jsbrules it takes real skills to do justice to Canon!
I agree it is not as sugar-coted as many other versions!
It is mysterious how this simple melody radiates splendid and magnificient beauty... Music is mysterious...
I had never herd of this piece until my daughter chose it for her wedding day march down the aisle ,it is the most peacfull and beautiful piece of music i have ever herd ,Bravo.
Still one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...
wow, to say that was amazing is a gross understatement! that is the closest to perfection I have ever heard of any group of people playing together. you must of all been born with internal metronomes. you have my utmost respect :-D
Played this all over again while my son isn't yet born. Now, he's nine months old and a very music inclined baby. ❤

So strange I just randomly happened to want to listen to this song in its most beautiful form and this video looked humble yet full of talent. Looking at the comments a bunch are within the last few days it’s like so many people wanted to find a small moment of peace like me. It kinda cheers me up, feels like we’re all not as lone as we feel so many times.
This is the most beautiful piece of music ever written, ever played. Johann was a bloody genius!
It’s great to hear this masterpiece in its most original form.
I love watching this video more than anything. I must have seen it a thousand times. My 2 year old is sat next to me glued to the screen. Thank you so much for this version. It’s the best I’ve ever come across:-)
What a rendition.. unbelievable. perfect to the core and sweet too to the ears. God Bless everyone in the team.
I've heard Pachelbel Canon in D so many times. So many versions. I should be exhausted. Why I can't hate this? Why is so timeless, why is its effect on me so perfect?
I can't help it. It still touch my soul in ways no other theme can.
you just can't hate it. Its one of those songs taht will always be around that s likeable ~forever~
This piece will one day be played at my service. I’ve already picked a few songs and this is the first one ☝️ I chose. It’s hauntingly beautiful 🌹🌹🌹 absolute masterpiece 🎵🎵🎵
Mine, too.
Many modern musicians have played this piece with flashy techniques and wide vibrato. But this is how it would be played back when Pachelbel was alive, this would be the closet to what he wanted. Great interpretation
It's both simple and beautiful. And most importantly, not sleepy.
Angelica Marta oh yeah, it’s so engaging
Noone knows how it was played at the time, or how Pachelbel intended it. We don't have recordings , and notation and other writings we might have access to are not and cannot be exact. So every performance is an interpretation based on the things we can know and the performers personal taste. So how close is it to the original performance? We don't know, and I personally don't care much. I just enjoy it ;-)
I've been playing this piece several times. I know it very well. For me, this is the best recording I've ever herd. Bravissimi!
This is a timeless song
This should and will be played for centuries

Iba manejando por carretera subiendo a la montaña, llevaba en el sonido música barroca, y de repente comenzó el Canon de Johannes Pachelbel.
Meditabundo, paisaje, recuerdos, circunstancias estimularon mis lagrimales desde lo más profundo de mi ser. No podía evitarlo, lloraba que tuve que orillarme para evitar un percance.
Fue una experiencia tan, pero tan extenuante de emoción que tuve la sensación haber padecido un vahido.
Al paso del tiempo, no puedo mas que decir que esa experiencia emotiva me la explico a la única razón de haber experimentado lo que se debomina "El Síndrome de Stendhal".
Y me lo explico así, ya que el síntoma tuvo por peculiaridad quedar pasmado por una gran obra de arte, como ésta maravillosa pieza musical que nos legó Pachelbel.
Gracias Johannes Pachelbel por tu maravilloso regalo.
Saludos a los amantes del arte desde Guanajuato Mx....
I can't believe this is from 12 years ago and I have never seen this until now.I'm shook.
JJ's World you waisted 12 years !
Man don;t say twelve years haha. Makes me depressed how quick it all went
Every note was played to perfection. I got goosebumps
Ladies and gentlemen now you are listening to the most beautiful classic music ever written in Human history...
Indeed
yup
If you look at the motions of these 3 women you will see that they are incredibly professional violinist this is a wonderful rendition of an incredible piece of music
The harmonies at 2:15 are out of this world!
Still the most beautiful music I've ever heard..Lived in Germany as a child; Mom played this on a 33-1/3 LP record..I'm 76 now and can't resist playing this heavenly music many times in a row..and so very often..I'd love to find a partner who feels the same..
This has inspired me to pick up violin again after 20 years, now I am enjoying practicing almost everyday since last year. Thank you.
A beuautifuly filmed piece of one of the best pieces of music ever written. The lighting is superb does an incedible job of showing which violin is playing what part which is the key to the energy of the piece.
