Filmed and edited by J2 Media - http In music, a canon is a contrapuntal composition that employs a melody with one or more imitations of the melody played after a given duration (eg quarter rest, one measure, etc.). The initial melody is called the leader (or dux), while the imitative melody, which is played in a different voice, is called the follower (or comes). The follower must imitate the leader, either as an exact replication of its rhythms and intervals or some transformation thereof (see "Types of canon", below). Repeating canons in which all voices are musically identical that repeat are called rounds -- "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "Frère Jacques" being widely known examples. Song arrangement by Trace Bundy. |
