2. Canon
Canon (canon) is a music composition technique. Like fugue, it is one of the writing techniques of polyphonic music. It is also an imitation technique that uses counterpoint. Canon also refers to musical works created using this technique, such as Bach's "Five Canon Variations".
Although all the voices of the canon imitate one voice, the voices of different heights enter at certain intervals, creating a one-on-one, continuous effect. Round singing is also a kind of canon. In the canon, the melody that appears first is the introduction, and what is imitated later is the answer.
According to the different pitch differences in the height of each part, it can be divided into canon in the same degree, canon in the fifth degree, canon in the fourth degree, etc.; according to the length of the interval, it can be divided into canon in one measure, canon in two measures, etc. ; In addition, there are various techniques such as accompaniment canon, transposed canon, retrograde canon, and reverse canon.
Related history
* Canon originated in Italy and France and appeared around the 13th and 14th centuries.
* The name of Canon was originally "caccia" and "canon" in Old French. Therefore, it is generally believed that its name comes from Old French, which means "depending on".
(This statement is doubtful. The relevant entry in the English version of Wikipedia says that the Old French "canon" means "learned" - learned, academic)
(This Old French "canon" comes from the etymology It is said that it comes from the Greek "kanon", which means "law, law", so it is generally believed that the original meaning of kanon is "rule")
* Kanon music was played from the first half of the 15th century to the 16th century. The middle period (Netherland School period) ushered in its golden years.
Famous works using canon techniques (non-canon pieces)
The canon technique was commonly used in symphonies and sonatas in the 19th century, the most famous of which is Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" 》.
Representative work (Canon)
The canon work we are most familiar with today is Johann Pachelbel's "Canon and Gigue in D". Also known as "Pachelbel's Canon".
The general way of playing this piece is to start with the cello, and three violins join in at intervals of eight beats. The violins all play the same melody, with only three different melodies before and after, each of which only has two measures of melody to be played repeatedly; the cello only has two measures from beginning to end, repeated as many as twenty-eight times. Although this piece of music keeps going back and forth, the beauty of its melody does not make people feel monotonous, but instead makes it feel pleasant to the ear.
This song became famous because it was used as the soundtrack for the movie "Ordinary People".
The Korean movie "My Sassy Girl" used an adapted version of this song - "Variations of Pachelbel's Canon" from George Winston's album "December" on the Canon by Pachelbel), which made it even more popular.
This song also represents one of the achievements of human civilization and was sent into space by NASA through artificial satellites.
In addition, the animated Evaangelion theatrical version of Death also used a string version of this song as the soundtrack.
