Pachelbel Canon in D Fantasia for hammered dulcimer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лис 2013
- Timothy Seaman performs his hammered dulcimer solo fantasia based on the chord patterns that form the framework for Johann Pachelbel's celebrated Baroque canon. A blog post has sheet music for this at timothyseaman.com/index.php/ti....
The chord pattern happens to include all six of the primary chords in a diatonic key center: I, IV, and V are major triads; II, III, VI are minor triads.
A version of this arrangement including flute improvisations by Seaman can be found on the final track of his holiday CD Profound Joy at timothyseaman.com/index.php/di...
The original idea was inspired by George Winston's piano interpretation on his holiday album December --- especially the 'ragtimey' approach. Thanks, George!
Lovely. Thanks so much. It truly makes me want to learn to play.
Just exquisite!!!
Beautiful. "Canon" is my very favourite classical piece and the way this is played around on the dulcimer is just amazing. I think I might have found my new favourite instrument!
Simply magical!
wow! Sir! I'm in tears! that was. ..wow. ..speechless.
i love this version
Great playing, wonderful arrangement
Fabulous...you still have it after all these years...lol...memories of Williamsburg...1996. Thanks for sharing...loved it!
BRAVO POUR VOTRE TALENT TIMOTHY
This song has had me moved ever since I was a child, every single time I heard it play ... And oh man... You took it to another level there... I'm afraid I just can't help hitting that replay button. Lord, you are incredibly amazing.
I of course subscribed to your fantastic channel, and I pray you will bless us with more of your talent.
Best regards.
What a terrific arrangement. Thank you for making the sheet music available.
oh man, this is beautiful. so skilled and amazing !!
Thank you sooo much for the sheet!!
Superb.
The dulcimer sounds better than most on UA-cam. Sounds like the reverb was not overdone.
Thank you! Actually, there's NO extra reverb here --- just the ringing of this Dusty Strings D600 dulcimer, one of the first made and thus very seasoned in tone. There's a little bit of sound from the walls of our living room, but it's mostly just the dulcimer. Dusty Strings has about medium sustain length among different brands of dulcimers, I think.
Timothy Seaman Thank you

One of my all time favorite pieces, and you posted it on my birthday. Feels like a gift!
Simply amazing.
I came here just out of curiosity and I'm glad I did. This is beautiful!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your score. I picked up a masterworks hammer dulcimer, with no music background (I am a self taught drummer) I find it such a challenge to play your Canon in D on a hammer dulcimer. I am two months into this and liking every bit of it. Thanks again, all glory be to Jesus
wow, simply amazing cover perfectly played 🎵
WOW! Wonderfully done!!
Makes me cry - don't know why - it just does.
Thank you.
Just beautiful!!
stunningly beautiful thank you for sharing
quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen and heard
I am kicking around the idea of learning to play the hammered dulcimer, this is pushing me more and more to it. What a beautiful piece. How long before I could play like this? 1 yr, 5 yrs, never?
I recommend getting a dulcimer and starting to explore what comes easiest to you to make sounds that please you the most! Everybody seems to go a different direction on the instrument. Pachelbel's Canon itself is impossible to play on the dulcimer, so I decided to use chord structures and fragments of the melody to make a flowing arrangement. One technique I'm using in four of the sections is a ragtimey separated-hands method that, once you get the knack, comes very easily from then on, like riding a bike. Another technique that is quite doable is the fast arpeggios from right to left, just a repeating zigzag that looks a lot harder than it actually is. The biggest factor, though, is expression: every note is voiced with a certain kind of strike to make the piece come alive, rather than playing too evenly like a music box or harpsichord. This is especially doable when you use a powerful repeating set of chords like the ones in Pachelbel's Canon! They're D A Bm F#m G D Em A over and over.
@@timothyseaman Thank you for this explanation and enlightenment. Rather than “prescribing” a fixed “how long” answer, you’ve given a response both instructional and inspiring to all who aspire to reach a level of playing that can begin even to dream of playing this piece. Thank you, and thank you for sharing your music - this is permeatingly beautiful.
@@timothyseaman I am awestruck!
Absolutely incredible!
Great work. Brings a tear to my eye.
Bravo 👏👏👏
Gorgeous sound!

Fascinating instrument...I'd like to give that one a go sometime. Very good!
Stellar!!
Hello Mr. Seaman, I came across your performance of the Cannon on hammered dulcimer. You did a wonderful job on this wonderful musical piece. As I listened, I the sound was so perfect, that it felt as though I were listening to a music box. I enjoyed your work on the dulcimer very much and I have added this piece to my computer favorites. Best wishes from Central Florida, USA. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to your future work...Will Ortiz
I am having my review for my board exam and I'm really curious what dulcimer looks like and I was stunned! Such a good instrument and a talented musician! Clap clap!
Such an arrow that pierced through my soul~~
You playing it great!! Encore!
Dang, I want one of these so bad! This arrangement is just gorgeous!
I was at Seneca Rock two weeks ago and watched you play this piece live and enjoyed it tremendously!the background and the setting as well as the song was awesome!thanks for creating memories, the way you were playing and the way it sounded, I just did not want it to end and am glad to find it on you tube. Thank you very much.

Wow this was incredible! Such a beautiful constructed instrument! 😍🤍
Thank you. You are a wonderful musician and I'm a fan of your work.
So beautiful, and you make it look so easy! Thank you! Going on my favorites list! :)
We have included a few of your videos to our bedtime routine. It is so relaxing to listen to you play such beautiful music. My two year old son is a huge fan! Especially to the videos with the harp duet where you also play the flute. So beautiful!
You are so talented :) I love listening to your music!
