Welcome to the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's, 'Illustrated Theory of Music'. This series of short, informal videos animate the stories behind music theory and provoke new questions about what we think we know. What does a 'quaver' really mean? Why do we use bars? Why does it have to be so slow? The series is led by the OAE’s dedicated musicians but audiences are invited to ask questions, challenge conventional wisdom and help to build a new understanding of music. Please share your thoughts in the comment box below!
In this episode, OAE's Claudia Delago-Norz shows us the versatility of the canon, from the catchy rhymes we all recognise from our childhood to the mathematically complex canons by composers throughout music history.
Special thanks to OAE Principal Harpsichord Steven Devine, Soprano Miriam Allan, Soprano Zoe Brookshaw and Tenor Edward Ross

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.

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.

I assembled a playlist of Pachelbel pieces on KZfaq. I called it the Pachelbel Armistice Selection because it contained every Pachelbel piece I could find except one.

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 3 жыл бұрын
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
