"Canon and Gigue in D" (Canon in D major). The author is the German Johann Pachelbel (1653 ~ 1706), who was Bach's teacher. However, some people say that an unknown composer at the time pretended to be the work of the then-famous Pacabel in order to sell the piece. Canon - a type of polyphonic music, originally meaning "law". A form of polyphonic music composed purely of imitation. When each part that enters successively plays (sings) a melody on the same or different pitches from beginning to end, it is called a canon. The first voice to appear is called the opening sentence or main sentence, and the subsequent voices are called response sentences or reply sentences. The melody of one part chases the other part from beginning to end, until the end...the last knot, the last chord, they will merge together and never separate. The extremely lingering music is like two people following each other through life and death.
Canon is also the name of a musical form, which is characterized by repeating the same piece of music at intervals of several syllables. The general method of playing is to start with the cello, and three violins join in one after another with an interval of eight beats. The violins all play the same melody. There are only three different melodies before and after, and each section has only two measures of melody for repeated playing. ; The cello's melody is only two measures from beginning to end, repeated as many as twenty-eight times, but the listener is intoxicated by the melody and does not feel monotonous at all. Being able to control simplicity as well as complexity, the author can be said to have reached the state of perfection.
The earliest history of canon can be traced back to the folk music forms of the 13th century, such as hunting songs, round songs, etc. The cantata is a small vocal piece in the form of an endless canon in which each voice enters at the same spacing. It became popular in England after the 13th century. A complete canon appeared in the 15th century and was favored by Flemish composers. Since then, the canon has often been used as an independent small piece of music or as a section in a large piece of music.
