1. Used to hear this canon a lot at Unitarian Fellowship

when we used to meet in person..back in the day.

2. When my kiddo wants to soften up his mama

for something, he will play this on his piano. It’s so beautiful…works every time.

3. EEEWWW!!!! Ugly: digital.

[question everything]

4. Is it? I looked at many posts, some one hour version!

Is this better?

5. Here's one:

It was written for 3 violins and (1) cello/continuo
(cello/continuo= the bass line and maybe (if you have other players: harpsichord or organ or archlute) another or other instruments to fill in the chord structure as notated on the bass line (cello part).

It also comes with an utterly delightful gigue (French for "jig&quot that is rarely played but should be!

6. Thank you!

I "discovered" it in 1980, or so when I found the record Greatest Hits of 1720 and fell in love with this.

7. I can't tell you how many times I've played it for weddings --

in the string quartet form (me, the viola, playing the 3rd violin part -- which btw is exactly the same as the 1st and 2nd violin parts, since a canon is a round...) I always loved it and i think it's perfect wedding music because it's many variations on one little bass line.

9. Not to misdirect

but saw Bach as well in the snapshot above

Loved the scene in Seven in the library (at 57 sec)

10. @00:57 beautiful but from what follows I'm afraid it's too dark for me!

BTW I love "misdirections"!

8. Voices of Music are great

They finally did all four of Vivaldi's Seasons

11. I like the soloist of the Voices of Music but I find the accompaniment kinda luggy.

In the 80's I played the Four Seasons a couple of times with this guy. We'd have a run-through an hour or so before the performance and then the concert!
