The Flash of a Canon by Brooke Harding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo By: Brooke Harding en-us 2017-09-12 16:53:28 UTC 2024-10-06 22:06:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/186872055 A "canon" can be defined as a well-known musical piece usually written by a popular composer, and usually written a very long time ago. Although canons are almost always appreciated in today's time, often, they were not very much appreciated when they were first  composed. In Western Art music, also known as "Classical music", canons occur quite often. In my opinion, a perfect example of canons in Classical music is "The Nutcracker". The music in The NutCracker contains many beautiful musical pieces that are extremely well-known. When listening to the classical radio station, I found that almost every song I heard, included either a lot of piano, or a lot of orchestra type instruments such as the flute and the violin. Some of the composers I heard included, Bach, Chopin, and Bantock. Many of the songs also sounded extremely alike, using similar musical patterns and instrumentals.]]> 2017-09-12 16:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/186872055 "When words leave off, music begins." brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/186962267 -Heinrich Heine]]> 2017-09-12 20:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/186962267 "Music is the poetry of the air." brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/186977970 -Jenn Paul Richter ]]> 2017-09-12 21:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/186977970 Chopin brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187309781 Chopin is a well-known classical composer and can be heard often on the classical music radio station, WRR 101.1]]> 2017-09-13 18:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187309781 Beethoven brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187312836 Beethoven is arguable the most well-known classical composer/ musician. ]]> 2017-09-13 18:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187312836 "Music is like a dream, one that I cannot hear." brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187315282 -Beethoven]]> 2017-09-13 18:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187315282 The Nutcracker brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187342694 2017-09-13 19:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187342694 Campus Canon brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187985301 This flyer advertises a recital that probably exhibits mostly canons. ]]> 2017-09-15 15:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187985301 Mozart brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187987335 Mozart had some of the best examples of canons in his music. ]]> 2017-09-15 15:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/51w2wi9nzouo/wish/187987335
