Welcome to the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's, 'Illustrated Theory of Music'. This series of short, informal videos animate the stories behind music theory and provoke new questions about what we think we know. What does a 'quaver' really mean? Why do we use bars? Why does it have to be so slow? The series is led by the OAE’s dedicated musicians but audiences are invited to ask questions, challenge conventional wisdom and help to build a new understanding of music. Please share your thoughts in the comment box below!
In this episode, OAE's Claudia Delago-Norz shows us the versatility of the canon, from the catchy rhymes we all recognise from our childhood to the mathematically complex canons by composers throughout music history.
Special thanks to OAE Principal Harpsichord Steven Devine, Soprano Miriam Allan, Soprano Zoe Brookshaw and Tenor Edward Ross

This video: Speaks about the counterpoint canon
Tchaikovsky: So...I used the wrong canon?
Yeah, they missed the "loud canon"
Lol
This woman's accent is fabulous
It's basically a German accent. Nothing super special. She does a great job of describing the canon, though.
@soundofmaggots of course. I speak and teach German. It's a beautiful language.
@@jomarluke did it sound slightly Saxon to you as well?
she is english
"Illustrated Theory of Music"
A genuine game changer.
This is the way all music theory should be taught from now on.💓
I had absolutely no idea that there were different types of canons, and that they were written for different voices at the same time in a piece!! This is why I never get sick of early music, there’s always something to learn!(:
Charming explanation.
The canon, when it goes beyond its simple form (Pachebel's) is just a way for a composer to flex.
I assembled a playlist of Pachelbel pieces on CZcams.
I called it the Pachelbel Armistice Selection because it contained every Pachelbel piece I could find except one.
I was about to hate, and then, revelation. This comment made my day and taught me to read something completely before judging
It would truly be quite difficult to say which is most beautiful; the great classical works, her accent/voice, her masterful music ability or her captivating embodied essence. Sometimes life is not about pinpoint descriptions but instead blissful present observation.
This is so incredibly detailed and understandable! Thank you so much!! I am starting a music degree this month, and with information like this, I am going to be a superstar student! ❤
Splendid video! Please, oh please, oh please do Johann Fux's "Gradus ad Parnassum" for regular folk, please! You're among the few who can do it beautifully!
I learned so much! Deepest thanks. 🙏
This is a wonderfully clear and charming exposition! Great examples and quirky effects! Bravo Claudia!!
SO VERY THUMBS UP!!! I've been waiting for this one! Thanks, OAE. It's a slightly more cheerful day now :-)
What a stunning video! Learnt so much. Thank you :)
Thank you for your great explanation which is both interesting and clear for a music outsider like me! I was listening to my only-known canon (Canon in D Major by Pachebel) for a 5-min break and came across this video. I now know much more about “canons”. Thanks again and keep on the good work👍🏼😄
That Mozart canon was awesome!
Wish I could subscribe to this channel twice, or even more!
the editing of this was and cute haha
love the efftort
I say, these illustrations never fail to intrigue.
That was a great explanation...Fun to watch and learn. Yeah.. Talk about Dietrich Buxtehude
some more, and Guillaume dufay....
But, there is a line in Shakespeare's' Colorianus.. Where one character says "SHALL!!...it was from the Cannon"....What the heck did he mean by "From the cannon?"
It seems to mean "out of order." I had to look it up, mind. "From" is used in its meaning "out of," "away from." "The canon" seems to mean something like "The Rules," the etiquette of how (upper class) life ought to be conducted. So it's a kind of apology for Sicinius saying "That shall remain a poison where it is." Why apologise for that? Because in earlier English, "shall" has a sense of obligation: it shall means "it's got to" so it's like Sicinius is giving Coriolanus an order: Coriolanus' mind is poisonous, and it's going to bloody well stay where it is and be poisonous." Since Coriolanus is aristocratic af and very conscious of it, he's all "Do you know who I am?"
Also, canon and cannon are different words. I was once with my parents walking towards Ely Cathedral, and my mother said what I heard as "Look, there's an old canon," so I looked for an aged ecclesiastical gent, perhaps wearing gaiters or something like that. What she had actually said was "Look, there's an old cannon," referring to a piece of 17th c. artillery parked in front of the cathedral (Civil War: they still fondly remember Our Noll in that part of the world). HTH
This whole video was amazing
This helped me with my music's homework. Great Work!
Gr8 material. Thnx
This was so helpful! I have a quiz in a few days and I've never studied music so I was more than a little lost but now I get it
Great explanation, thanks !
Wonderful! Thank you!
So interesting! Thanks!
Excellent. I really enjoyed your entertaining tutorial. Thank you.
Amazing video! Thank you!!
Nice editing. Great info. Thanks!
Fabulous! A myriad thank yous for this, folks.
Thank you, a useful thing
Live well and happy 🖖
Great video
What a great video.
magnificent ! thank you
And I’ve subscribed to learn more😁😁
very cool!
OAE is one of the best cults in the world
You have no idea how much I respect you for not saying pachelbel 😌
Super awesome accent.
This is beautiful, and like many beautiful things is after all is said and done, a bunch of maths 😀
i got told to watch this
3:21 good thing that is just a green screen, otherwise they would have stabbed each other with that *baroque style dagger bow* 😂
Let's Hear Row Row Row you boat played on a Harpsichord.
OK, I'm on it
@@StevenDevineMusic Yes but I decided to sing it in Japanese.
Precious thing is that she used the Baroque Violin
The Rolling Stones song that was closest to being a canon was "Gimme Shelter." Prove me wrong.
They forgot to mention the type of "canon" where Star Wars fans argue about what did and didn't happen based upon which movies and tie-in books they happen to like.
The woman's accent does remember to me the Gru's accent (Protagonist in Despicable me) in his latinoamerican dubbind.
Hear they theirs voices and compare
On the canon of literatures, you missed out the collected works of Dan Brown😏
The canon for 3 voices by Mozart looks more like Haendel''s style.
The presenter is just 🥰💗💓💞
What's the difference between a canon and a fuge?
The canon is prelude to the fugue.
You forgot the most controversial canon of all time!!! The Star Trek canon!
Otherwise fantastic video
So... when does a canon cross over into a fugue?
A Canon is different from THE canon.
fréré jaké
moi: alors non c'est pas
BTW there are canonical bases in linear algebra
She's french
Thank god for your ear.
No she is not French, where did you learn she was French? (Thaur, Tirol, Austria) and she is currently residing in the U.K. Funny how I have access to the same information you do and my answer is different.
Canon in Arabic means a law
i have a nuclear warhead in my backyard
This video editing is wonderfully terrible
It seems to be a delightful trend, doesn't it? I see Dianna Cowern over at PBS' The Physics Girl and ElectroBoom do it. It's hilarious and so full of energy!
I wonder if they were inspired by Early Music Sources in this quirky editing.
