Pachelbel's canon in D Major
I appreciate all kind of genres in music. Amongst my favs are alternative,electronica,gothic rock,arabian songs and yea club hits.
Back in secondary school, I used to be in the military band where I used to play the French Horn. For those who have not seen it yet, heres how a French Horn looks like:
Yea I know its pretty twisted looking but its not that tough to play it.
Anyway, it has always been my dream to be able to play at least one of the musical instruments and I've always wanted to play the piano or violin but I guess my parents were not having the same interest as mine. Back then when I was very young, they told me musicians do not have a 'bright' future. Well,I would not say that they are wrong to have that kind of thinking but again...its a case to case basis,depending on which country you are in, how the music industries in that country and so on and so forth.
When I was a teenager, I developed a liking for a particular song, Pachelbel's canon in D Major. I do not really know why I like it so much but this song just make me feel peaceful and de-stressing.
Here are some infos from Wikipedia,you can read more from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachelbel's_Canon:
Pachelbel's Canon (also known as Canon in D major, or, more formally, Canon and Gigue in D major for three Violins and Basso Continuo (Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo)) is the most famous piece of music by Johann Pachelbel. It was written in or around 1680, during the Baroque period, as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo, but has since been arranged for a wide variety of ensembles. The Canon was originally paired with a gigue in the same key, although this composition is rarely performed or recorded today. It is well known for its chord progression.
The piece is commonly played at weddings and is frequently present on miscellaneous classical music compilation CDs, along with other famous Baroque pieces such as Air on the G String by J. S. Bach, (BWV 1068). A non-original viola pizzicato part is also commonly added (in a string orchestra or quartet setting) when a harpsichord or organ player is not used to improvise harmonies over the bass line.
So today after I'm done with my work, I browse through YouTube to find the song played in different instruments.
Heres the most beautiful piece I've heard so far :)
Another one played on the piano Like I've said,I don't play the piano, but if I ever have to learn to play one melody, this has to be the one.
This is another one played on violins & the celloThey did a good job! Don't you think so?
This one was played on guitar and flute I think its very tough to play it on flute :) She did a nice job
This next one is so cool! Played on electric guitar ;P
Okay this one here is played on the harp..how angelic (:
I can't help it..this is amazingly beautiful..another one played on the harp..just look at how her fingers picked on the strings ..talented :)
Aight, those are just some of them...go see more on YouTube! :)
