Mme Pachelbel est un canon
it's a pun
Music is a game and it is said to play music. When you start a piece with band in a box you don't always know where you're going. I started out using a somewhat oriental style and over the course of the composition I drifted towards classical music without having decided on it.
Good listening

HAHA!! Very clever, Laurent. I was thinking I'd hear your cool rendition of The Canon in D, but this is so much better. Love it!! So well crafted and clever use of the original phrasing. Brilliant really.

It always puzzled me why so many people use Pachelbel's Canon for their wedding. Didn't he write it in a very sad mood after his wife and daughter died in a carriage accident? This one of yours is so much better for weddings --for any occasion really.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Super orchestration and instrumentation in this song.

Super mix.

Two thumbs up.

Thank you Marty
From what I've read, he lost his first wife and son to the plague. As we say in French:"boire un canon", which means drink a glass of wine. Is he drowning in drink after this painful loss and will have called his famous piece because of it?
So we have to ask ourselves this metaphysical question: Do we have to suffer to make beautiful music? However, avoid putting a hammer on your hand because the result is that you will not be able to play guitar or piano for a while.

That was a pleasant listen! laugh

I'm just glad I'm not the flute player... No room for taking a breath!

And just when you proved you weren't copying the famous canon, you bring it in. Ha! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Un boulet de canon qui vole a passé le moment classique et atterrit doucement avec une brise de mélodie. Bravo M. l’artillerie.
