Pachelbel's Music Box Canon [permalink]

My second arrangement for music box is Pachelbel's Canon in D. Three music boxes play the same strip of paper in sequence, creating a canon. The basso continuo is created by another music box playing a loop of paper. This arrangement really lets you see the structure of Pachelbel's original canon!

The Everything Index [permalink]

My site now has the Everything index, which shows a picture and explanation for every section of the site. Hopefully things will now be easier to find, as the site grows.

I've also added a webpage for Music Boxes. There's nothing new there yet, but there will be soon!

In other news, Storia is now in the iTunes music store. It's been updating every week, with three episodes so far. The RSS is separate from my blog, so make sure you're subscribed! You have lots of options: RSS, iTunes, or Google Reader.

For comparison, you can listen to the theme in piano from the Harry Potter Septet. This section is inspired by Dumbledore's speech at the end of Book 4, and spans from the theme entrance to the end of the movement.
