While trying to manage my blog again and get it back up, I’ve been working on gearing it towards more musical aspects rather than recovery. Maybe a mix… I honestly think, I’m still trying to get a feel for what I want DelicateMelody.com to be.

So while trying to research music blogs that I could analyze, I came across this one: Blog.

It’s a blog post about Trans Siberian’s Christmas Canon Rock, an amazing take on Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major. Having heard this before (usually when my dad plays it around Christmas time), I listened to it again, in the middle of July, and I thought to myself: What a beautiful piece of music.

I have a recording of me and another person I know playing a duet of this song for a Talent Show. That might come soon, once I figure out how to insert videos. If all else fails, YouTube here I come.

Pachelbel’s Canon was originally written somewhere around 1680 – falling right in the Baroque period. Although this piece was written around 1680, it wasn’t discovered until around 1920 and even then, not recorded until around 1940.

Although this piece was written to be performed by a string quartet or quintet, it’s more than often performed on the piano.
