Canon Rebel XSi - Journey - Football commercial

This is the current commercial that makes me stop whatever I'm doing at the moment, take time to watch, listen, and appreciate.

[The organization that composed the piece is known as Sacred Noise, and have worked with other companies to produce intelligent musical advertisements]





It has also inspired many others, as I have come to discover




Quote:
Michael’s piano piece for the Canon “Journey” spot has become some sort of hit/movement with numerous fans emailing for the sheet music, along with performances and tutorials popping up on Youtube.

Here’s one performance: ^ above

And here are a few email selections:

“…First of all, I just want to tell you that I love the music for the new Canon commercial. I do not currently play the piano, but the song you composed has made me want to learn…”

“…I am playing for a wedding, and the bride demands the Canon Commercial music which I believe is a composition by you. Could you email me the sheet music?”

“….I am a figure skater and would love to skate to it. It is an absolutely beautiful piece…”

“…This is a far out question. But I will ask this anyway. Is there anyway to get sheet music for the piece you did for the Canon Commercial? I have someone playing some music for me, for a dinner date i am setting up, and i really would love to have this song to be played…”

“…After seeing the Canon commercial containing your beautiful music, it has inspired me to start playing again….after having neglected my piano for almost 15 years…”

“…Let me start by saying I love the score you composed for the Canon commercial. I listen to it over and over. My 8-year old son is taking keyboard lessons in school and he’s trying to learn it for me. He’s still pretty new to the piano and what he has learned so far is close, but not quite right. Unfortunately my job has taken me overseas and I can’t do much to help him for a while. I was wondering if it would be possible to obtain a copy of the sheet music to give to him for Christmas…”
