That is funny. I have seen it before and it was posted some time ago on this forum before. That piece drives me in sain!!!! I have played it one too many times for weddings I suppose.

Somewhere, Pachelbel is cursing every one of us... Except those who appreciate his genious . Sorry, I must say that I have to object to some things. I give the man credit for putting the world of classical music out to a different kind of audience, though.

As I have said before, I love Pachelbel. I love that rant.
AND, here is another one for everyone's amusement.

Somehow, although I have played that Canon "Quite Enough!" at weddings and such, those two vids are much appreciated.

Hysterical

I feel the same way about Greensleeves. Every single Christmas - since I began playing the flute - whatever organization I'm playing in at the time has the "novel" idea to play a Greensleeves arrangement featuring flute.

When I've been asked to play my flute at Christmas church functions - guess what song they want to hear.

We just got our Christmas concert music - guess what song is there.

I knew one double bass player who used to play songs like that by moving the entire thing back and forth and keeping the box in a fixed place.

Typical bored as hell playing around

I also play "What Child is This" (Greensleeves)every Christmas season at church, however, in a darkened church, with a solo flute, it is so hauntingly beautiful. It brings many to tears (in a good way).

I know what Tim is talking about, I , too have played Greensleeves many times, and guess what, I don't get sick of it, it's like an old friend..also a fun tune to improvise on and transpose for the sake of developing tone

Greensleves was the very first tune that I absolutely had to have. It's beautiful but then again any song can get old if you play it enough.
