This is one of the greatest hits in the classical world which was composed in the 1680′s by Johann Pachelbel. Sight-reading it with colleagues on 2 Guadagnini,1 Stradivari Violin and a Steinway in Sweden at 3 am :-) Probably the most juicy canon on YouTube!!! :-) www.alexandergilman.com ——————————————————————————– Pachelbel’s Canon, also known as Canon in D major, or more formally Canon and Gigue in D major for three Violins and Basso Continuo (Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo), is the most famous piece of music by Johann Pachelbel. It was written in or around 1680, during the Baroque period, as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo, but has since been arranged for a wide variety of ensembles. The Canon was originally paired with a gigue in the same key. The piece, whose score was discovered and first published in the 1920s, and first recorded in 1940 by Arthur Fiedler[1], is particularly well known for its chord progression, and is played at weddings and included on classical music compilation CDs, along with other famous Baroque pieces such as Air on the G String by JS Bach (BWV 1068). It became very popular in the late 1970s through a famous recording by the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra. A non-original viola pizzicato part is also commonly added (in a string orchestra or quartet setting) when a harpsichord or organ player is not used to improvise

[KTM] Sayonara Tanjong Pagar (Youtube Version)

UPDATE 8/7/2011: This film will be extended to include footage of after the KTMB closures. Don’t worry, this version of the film will still be here but this film can be made better. Thank you for your support. A chapter of Singapore’s and Malaysia’s History is now closed. The railway land between Tanjong Pagar and Woodlands have been given to Singapore. For many years, from the Tank Road Station days of 1910 to the current Tanjong Pagar Railway Station in 1932, trains have plied down this section that is a symbol of Malaysia and Singapore’s bilateral ties. These ties are clearly represented by the railway. Two rails, two countries united by a concrete sleeper, signifying unity and trust. As a train enthusiast myself, it is sad to see Tanjong Pagar go into the pages of history as it had lost it’s purpose. Now, it just stands as a work of art; something that has no purpose other than itself. I have spent a good time of my secondary school days spotting trains at this station. I loved the rumbling of the rails and the smoking clags coming out of the train’s exhaust pipe as it makes it’s way down the rails. I will miss them. Eventhough the trains still exist between Woodlands and JB, it’s no point. Sayonara Tanjong Pagar and thank you KTMB Malaysia for your presence. Even though we might rumble about trains being late, we still love seeing trains.
