Pachelbel's Canon (Chinese Dulcimer)

[@2726hawk]

The Canon, in my opinion, is the most beautiful piece of music ever composed. I am amazed that people the world over still are finding unique ways to present it. I am drawn to the simplicity and majesty of this particular rendition. More than wonderful to hear, this rendition is so soothing to watch!

[@BlueSparkle]

It's March 2020 and I've just found this video. This Canon is my all-time favourite piece of Baroque music and this performance is absolutely stunning! It deserves many more views than 113k. Who are those 12 dislike people? The video quality is poor, but this is a masterpiece of music. Simply close your eyes and LISTEN...

[@chinchang5117]

Let me guess. U found this video because u are being locked in the house.

[@sarahwashington7413]

Delightful and I've always loved this piece of music. So refreshingly simple

[@GoutoD]

You're right ! I have Goosebumps

[@lionarons]

From an American dulcimer player - I've watched hundreds of dulcimer videos and this may be the most exquisite performance I've ever seen.

[@wendilandkammer8368]

It's 2023 now, and this video is 14 years old. I love this piece of music and this is an exquisite version of it.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

The beauty of Canon they play with exquisite skill is immeasurable, and off the charts, and embodies the musical aesthetics of Pachelbel, and generates impression and comfort and pleasure and admiration

[@nunu1869]

Here in 2024! FOREVER Pachabel xoxo

[@DyingWizardOdo]

Seven reasons why this is the best dulcimer video on youtube, although it is only 240p: 1.) No other instruments were used 2.) No playback music was implemented 3.) The Pachelbel's Canon has a great melody 4.) CCTV and still no typical and poor special effects 5.) CCTV and still no typical and conformal jabbering 6.) Asian TV and still the focus is on the magnific music and not on the magnific musicians 7.) Most of us fought hard to find this hidden video

[@MarkMaysey]

Beautiful performance and lovely music here. I've always loved the hammered dulcimer, but this is the first time hearing multiple dulcimers being played at one time.

[@angelofmusic477]

I see 5 angels playing such beautiful songs for us.

[@sullysdogs]

Beautiful. Puts you in a different world. I never get tired of listening. Beautiful lady's.

[@sarahwashington7413]

Absolutely gorgeous and so....different.

[@yalecrandall3348]

These ladies are truly artists. Their music is hauntingly beautiful. I really could listen to them for hours. Fine music, fine wine and beautiful women -- what more could a mere mortal like me ask for?

For many years this tune was backing music for the UK wool trade adverts......

[@peery909]

I'm very honoured to have had a chance to play such a wonderful instrument.

[@felyuy9564]

This piece was very wellknow, play by various kind of instruments, so marvelous!

[@KurtKREITMAYR]

Wirklich erstaunlich, was man mit Hackbrettern und guten Musikerinnen spielen kann. Bravo

[@kilowatt52]

so Beautiful and played so well, I tear when hear it. Music reaches to a special place within our souls.....

[@fpinzow]

Refreshingly different sound to Canon in D! It is amazing how different it can sound when played on different instruments.

[@mtv565]

I stumbed to this by accident. Call it fate!

[@creativeplanetjanet]

I really like Pachelbel's Canon. Back in the early 90's, I was obsessed with it so much that I collected different versions from vinyl LPs, cassette tapes, and a few CDs. CDs were kind of a new thing then and I didn't have a CD player, but one of my friends did along with a great sound system. He helped me copy some onto cassette and I had about a dozen Then his brother surprised me with another whole cassette filled with different versions. I still have that cassette, but no cassette player. =(

[@chinchang5117]

How about u try to save up a bit and then u can afford a cassette player?

[@ms.annthrope415]

The best performance is Jean francois Paillard and the Paillard Chamber Orchestra. Try it. Pure Pachelbel, no embellishments or added notes.

[@catsnharps]

Fabulous playing--such musicianship!

[@johnneedy3164]

I was just wondering the other day what several dulcimers would sound like and behold it happens 🤗👌❤ Beautiful

[@navret74]

Beautiful. sounds outstanding. Embelishiments out of this world

[@jn5722]

Canon never gets old to me

[@Puzzoozoo]

Just goes to show music knows no national or cultural borders.

[@tiffanypetersen789]

Puzzoozoo Cultural appropriation is a wonderful thing, and don't let anyone tell you differently!😉

[@highestsettings]

Tiffany Petersen Appropriation is quite a harsh word for sharing culture.

[@Aeimos]

It just goes to show that Asians love something White people invented: Western music.

[@chrisa5180]

Aeimos lool put your white superiority out you ego inflated youngling

[@karenparker3998]

WoW !!!.😱😱😱Only This year..2021.did I hear of the Dulcimer.!!.😃I'm Soo glad I've had the Opportunity to hear if such Beautiful Instrument.!!.this piece of music goes Amazing on a Dulcimer.!!.😱😱🙂❣️❣️❣️❣️Thankyou players 😱🙏❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️xx

[@johnboyle3297]

What a superb performance

[@tammyadventures313]

Hauntingly beautiful, yet cold...

[@moorereeds]

Don't forget that it requires excellent musicians to make excellent music (or "fabulous" if you wish)... Never sell the musicians short. You can buy and play a cd if all you want is "fabulous music" and not give the musicians any love. They's get paid royalties (hopefully) from your purchase, but there's nothing like live music performed well.

[@ulrikkasparek6708]

CONGRATULATIONS! -This performance is watched more than once every hour (29 times daily in average) since its publication on date 12/02/09!

[@ElectricAutoharp]

absolutely beautiful

[@gradymixon5990]

I remember this from my childhood, not necessary dulcimers, such a lovely piece.

[@maybemisty]

This is just so beautiful!! I could just listen to this for hours!

[@kyleburge923]

非常好听!

[@ascended8174]

I love Asia. So many fantastic cultures and takes on each other's culture. Even getting some new tricks from the West.

[@Aenkelle]

The melody just tortures you with emotion.

[@peterlee6216]

Exquisite. Thank you. 精美。 谢谢。

[@bytesizeproductions]

Corrections: Pieces One does not simply have a subject and a predicate separated by a period. One also does not have five periods......................

[@georgcantor7172]

I wonder if they could play Frank Mills' "Music Box Dancer" on the yangin. They could play it super fast. I bet it would sound awesome! Let's start a write-in request for "Music Box Dancer"! :D

[@mariabognar-meyne6519]

Simply wonderful. :)

[@stevebirmingham9650]

beautiful outstanding thank you

[@luislopez3726]

It's a chinese dulcimer. But it sounded, slightly like a small mix of italian due to that tremolo sound it made. Overall I think it is very soothing.

[@lynnsartncrafts]

Btw, Chinese loooove tremolos 轮音 you can find it in almost every popular piece

[@ediseguro01]

[@monakayk]

Beautiful!!! Thanks for this video !!

[@mikegowan2008]

good version. I like having a bunch of dulcimers on it. Also much better effect with young and lovely musicians. I've played it solo on h.d. and it really sounds kind of thin (and old). Anybody seen the Pachelbel rant on You Tube? Hilarious if you've played this tune more than 1,000 times.

[@stflaw]

Hey, a Chinese musical instrument that doesn't sound like a cat being strangled!

[@biggusballuz5405]

You mean like a violin? Oh wait.

[@luislopez3726]

@@biggusballuz5405 no it's the one they call "erhu"

[@lyhuy7413]

[@bobhomer5008]

BRAVO!

[@peterlkwan8316]

should add a erhu to simulate the violin

This may have been asked earlier but why are there five people playing a four part piece?

Extra dynamics, I'd assume.

One of the part is playing the harpsichord part, the basso continuo.

[@dadufur]

It's a playback track...not live...

[@patriciacarter3793]

One of my favourite peices of music. Played by robots with no more feeling or depth than a production line. A pretty scene but not worth a second play.....

[@chinchang5117]

Well, the Chinese are good at being robots with no feelings.

[@scuzzydirtbag]

Amazing!!
