A canon is a piece of music where a melody is played and then imitated (one or more times) after a short delay.
Types of Canons: Round- simple canon, nursery rhymes use this Interval canons- initial melody is transposed Strict- exactly the same, free- change scale degree to stay in the key Canon by Inversion- the initial melody is played in contrary motion Retrograde Canon- melody is played backwards Retrograde Inversion- Melody is played backwards and in contrary motion Accompanied canon Simultaneous canons
One of the most famous canons in his kingdom is Pachelbel's Canon in D, and King Dorian listened to it and then copied the properties of this work to create a canon with his own melody.
