Introducing you to historically famous and significant pieces of classical music and connecting them to pieces composed 1970s - present day.
According to Katherine Bergeron, canon “refers to a sort of measuring stick, a physical model that both embodies a standard of measure and makes possible its reproduction. The canon is, in this sense, an ideal of order made material, physical, visible…”
In this episode, join us for a conversation on the musical canon and its pros and cons. We believe this is an important topic and we want to be part of the conversation. Canon has informed what we perform and why we perform it. Understanding the implications of the canon helps us to move forward as more pieces are composed and new ideas are shared.
If you wish to read more on this topic, please check out the sources we used to create our discussion below.
