    I had absolutely no idea that there were different types of canons, and that they were written for different voices at the same time in a piece!! This is why I never get sick of early music, there’s always something to learn!(:

      It's basically a German accent. Nothing super special. She does a great job of describing the canon, though.

    This is the way all music theory should be taught from now on.💓

    It would truly be quite difficult to say which is most beautiful; the great classical works, her accent/voice, her masterful music ability or her captivating embodied essence. Sometimes life is not about pinpoint descriptions but instead blissful present observation.

    Charming explanation.
    The canon, when it goes beyond its simple form (Pachebel's) is just a way for a composer to flex.

    Thank you for your great explanation which is both interesting and clear for a music outsider like me! I was listening to my only-known canon (Canon in D Major by Pachebel) for a 5-min break and came across this video. I now know much more about “canons”. Thanks again and keep on the good work👍🏼😄

    That was a great explanation...Fun to watch and learn. Yeah.. Talk about Dietrich Buxtehude
    some more, and Guillaume dufay....
    But, there is a line in Shakespeare's' Colorianus.. Where one character says "SHALL!!...it was from the Cannon"....What the heck did he mean by "From the cannon?"

    • @michaelwright2986
      @michaelwright2986 3 роки тому +1

      It seems to mean "out of order." I had to look it up, mind. "From" is used in its meaning "out of," "away from." "The canon" seems to mean something like "The Rules," the etiquette of how (upper class) life ought to be conducted. So it's a kind of apology for Sicinius saying "That shall remain a poison where it is." Why apologise for that? Because in earlier English, "shall" has a sense of obligation: it shall means "it's got to" so it's like Sicinius is giving Coriolanus an order: Coriolanus' mind is poisonous, and it's going to bloody well stay where it is and be poisonous." Since Coriolanus is aristocratic af and very conscious of it, he's all "Do you know who I am?"
      Also, canon and cannon are different words. I was once with my parents walking towards Ely Cathedral, and my mother said what I heard as "Look, there's an old canon," so I looked for an aged ecclesiastical gent, perhaps wearing gaiters or something like that. What she had actually said was "Look, there's an old cannon," referring to a piece of 17th c. artillery parked in front of the cathedral (Civil War: they still fondly remember Our Noll in that part of the world). HTH

    Well, what an amazing lesson! It's such a shame that I know several Canons, love some folk music that are like that, but never really understood that was a style of music (or kind of music). This video helped me to understand it, then realised that Canon music is my vibe lol Thank you for the explanation! even though it's been 4 years since you've shared it lol
