Re: Pachabels Canon



I have an interesting CD that accompanied a book on chanting. The CD
contains a choral version of Pachabels canon with the choir repeating
"Hallelujah" with the cyclical music. Canons are cited as great examples of
Western equivalents to chants. I believe there is power in repetitive music
(hence my looping interest and purpose for being on this e-mail list). I
remember listening to Pachabel's cannon when I was a kid and thinking how
wonderful and beautiful it developed with every cycle. I've never attempted
to play it but I think it would be a wonderful challenge to emulate 
Pachabel
with contemporary equipment.
