I recommend earbuds! Click to start the project. You will notice that each melody plays three times! That's what makes it a canon. After the third time it plays, a melody is then done. The top line is the first violin. Making this project was so difficult! Pay attention in geometry. It will give you useful skills. I love Pachelbel's Canon. It's what gave me a love for music and interest in learning piano. Piano in turn has given me so much happiness. Music is something that stays with you for a long time. Music can also take you back in time. This is the original Pachelbel's Canon. Funny enough I've never made a project on the original. You can't really play the original on the piano, not as a true canon at least. Too many notes overlap. The original is really good! I think it has a lot of rhythm to it. I have played some good arrangements, but the original is worth learning, too. It consists of different melodies that are easy to learn. Can we really see music? I tried to make the best visualizer I could. That's the benefit of the way I make these projects. Because I write the notes in lists, which takes practice, I am also able to calculate their lengths, as well as go anywhere in the music. If I had used the music blocks, I wouldn't be able to do that. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this project! I have made other Pachelbel's Canon projects, including two "black midis" with thousands of notes, other simpler projects, and even my very first project was on this work! I'm hoping to make many more music projects in the future. Classical music certainly has its limits, one of them being the music is too rigid when it comes to rhythm, and when it comes to expression. I never did learn to sing but of course I can always just program Scratch to. I can't begin to exaggerate how difficult it was to program the visualizer for this project. I did learn one thing. In order to visualize the melody, without it looking like all the notes are the same, you have to put it into perspective. So rather than visualizing the notes where they are, the notes are scaled apart by the highest and lowest in that measure. So if only a few notes are in the measure, the notes are farther apart from each other. That way it's easier to discern how they move. In the past I used to make these projects in such a way that it was calculating things while it was playing the music. This time around, I had the project calculate things, so that when it runs, it only needs to go through the numbers, it doesn't need to perform any more operations. I think that might have helped make the music not so choppy. But it still calculates things for the visualization. But I do think the visualization is worth it. Let me know if there is a song you want me to research! I am looking for new things to play. It might be difficult if there isn't sheet music. There are plenty of other songs I would be working on, but I am also looking for new music I have never learned. One final comment is that you often find this chord progression in other music! The difference is, here it goes forever, whereas often in other music, it might only show up once. I'm learning folk music right now from different island nations and there are a few songs that have this progression. To be honest I think it's kind of better like that because at this point, this one does feel repetitive. But it is a step up from most Baroque music, which otherwise tends to be difficult to listen to in my opinion.
