Canon in D - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I've got a midi version that is the best I've heard, but it's still midi, so I'd like to find a mp3 copy. I've tried www.espew.com, and the ones there are... not good.

Canon in D

MexicanOnABike · 03-25-2005, 02:55 PM

why dont you buy the cd? theres been a ton of versons out... or you can always download it from any download p2p programs. i use DC++(free opensource but you need to share about 10g or more to get in the good channels) and i found every possible version(orchestras, classical guitar, guitar, techno remix)

fallsauce · 03-25-2005, 03:01 PM

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering about. I want a version that sounds like the midi version, but I keep getting weird remixes and stuff.
And what CD are you talking about?
I've got DC++, so I'll check that out.

degrawj · 03-25-2005, 05:17 PM

god i hate that song. i had to play it every year in orchestra from fifth grade all the way through high school. bah. but seriously though mexicanonabike's right. you should be able to find one of dozens of CD's that have pachabell's canon on it for five bucks or less.

aberkok · 03-25-2005, 11:03 PM

It's important that you know who the composer is, so I'll give it to you: Johann Pachelbel (spelling could be important in order to help you find it).

Dbass · 03-25-2005, 11:10 PM

Seriously...most despised piece ever. I could go my entire life without playing or hearing it again. It's nice and all, but I really really don't like it. My friend wants me to play it on guitar, bass, and french horn...fuck no.

MacGuyver · 03-25-2005, 11:10 PM

Canon in D can be done very excellently and very poorly. I have a brass ensemble arrangement for about 50 brass, and it's absolutely breathtaking. Sends chills down my spine everytime I hear it.

Err... I knew who the composer is, just wondering who had the best version.

roachboy · 03-26-2005, 08:50 AM

the best version of this?
to my mind, it is on brian eno's "discrete music" release. its from around 1974.

Undercover_Man · 03-26-2005, 05:18 PM

Oh, this is one of my favorite c;assical music pieces. I don't have many favorite classical songs. Canon in D is awesome.

I love Canon in D, though I have to admit, it still takes a backseat to Rachmoninoff's Theme on Paganini, if i can find them I've had a couple decent versions of both, PM if you'd like and we can swap some files

vbuser · 03-26-2005, 07:02 PM

I especially like the Piano version, which I obtained via. noteworthy.

quadro2000 · 03-28-2005, 05:36 AM

I've always been partial to this CD. Nice variations on the Canon.

TheFu · 03-28-2005, 10:49 PM

It sounds much better on a banjo, Skruggs style.

Redlemon · 03-29-2005, 07:05 AM

Here's an album with my all-time favorite title: Pachelbel's Greatest Hit. Seriously, can you name anything else by Pachabel? Didn't think so. 15 different arrangements of the same song.

I've also heard the "Taco Bell Canon", performed by a college a cappella group, which is pretty funny.

Globber2000 · 03-30-2005, 11:04 AM

trans-siberian orchestra has a really good version of that, try to find it online if you can, or just buy the album
