Intro to Pachelbel's Canon and Gigue
The chord scheme -
Which came first - the chicken or the egg...
Different ways to name chords -
all the chords in a scale
which ones Pachelbel uses.
----
How chords match melodies -
A new line of music to play with the basses.
------
Here are 3 versions we can use, but you can also use whatever you have - Sylvia Woods, Susann Macdonald, many others. (but in the key of D)
Mostly we'll just work with the ideas, but it is helpful to study a score when you're preparing for a class. Use whichever one of these looks the most accessible to you. (harp 1 and 2 are very alike but can be studied to see the canon in action)

I see I did a terrible job as sticking to the game plan today :) We'll be more theoretical next time!!!
