- An Early Music Alberta "flash mob" at an Edmonton shopping mall at lunch time on April 12, 2012. The mob raised awareness to early music played on period instruments and it promoted the yearly Early Music Festival. Though the Canon in D by Pachelbel was not written for the instruments participating in the mob; this instrumentation did attract attention!
The instruments involved: harpsichord, bass viola da gamba, vielle, traverse flute, recorder, sackbut, treble gamba, baroque violin, harp.
A special thank you to Edmonton City Centre Mall. - เพลง
It's sad that so many people just walk by and don't even have some time to listen to this wonderful music :/
I found the general indifference very disappointing as well. I think it's because most people only listen to contemporary popular music, and are not interested in or attuned to ancient music.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. This is a fantastic rendition.
This is what canon in D is all about bringing sunshine into our lives when we least expect it . Bravo! From the uk !
freak...people did not stop...I would have been dead in my tracks...awesome!!!!!!!
Oh my god. Even a harpsichord... incredible
This certainly sounds more authentic than a lot of the flash mobs you see these days, where it sounds like the music was recorded in the studio. Truly amazing, and right here in EDMONTON! C. Pearce
Some people are way too picky...
'flashmobs' are about spreading joy unexpectedly and doing this on period instruments takes the whole idea up a notch, bravo👏👏
These people commenting realize they're in a freaking mall with hundreds, if not thousands of people? Of course they're gonna be bloody shrill or no one would hear them at all. I don't know about you pessimistic lot, but this is the most positive and constructive thing i've seen people do for others in a long time.
Well, I just finished a violin lesson and was playing this with my teacher only a few hours ago. It’s not an easy piece to play. The amount of people who just walked past without even stopping, tells me that the majority of society doesn’t understand or appreciate music or the amount of practice it takes for musicians to get this good.
if only i had the talent that that lead violinist has... they all sound absolutely splendid :oD
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written ... The period instruments make it that much special ... who can dislike this music you must have SOULLESS! Pachelbel lives !
Pachelbel had written this wonderful music in Erfurt ( Germany, Thüringen).
I live in Erfurt.
No need drug to fly high...just close your eyes and listen some master pieces of classic music.....i wish one day i can pass by this kind of flash mob
I wish I could have been there to see this live!
Tears of sheer happiness are weeping out of my eyes are the pure beauty of this!! Thank you all so much for sharing the wonderous joy of music!!!
Pachalbel wrote the majority of his music for the church - most of his stuff is worship music, including this.
I don't get the negative comments.If you don't have the time to listen, don't.
As far as it not being perfect, so what? It's beautiful music none the less.
The whole point is to raise a smile, and it succeeded. thanks for posting..
Well said!
It could do with a bit of polish though, but I gave it and you the thumbs up!!!
You "don't get the negative comments"? You must be kidding. This performance is absolutely awful.
Just do a TH-cam search on "Canon in D" and take your pick. There is a huge load of them about, and all of them are a joy to experience.
How I wish I were in the mall that day, what a magnificent sight it must have been to see live.
Absolutely beautiful. So wonderful to see all those instruments too! It did bring a tear to my eye as it is the piece of music I walked into the church to (along with many, many others!) to marry my husband. Only to the church organ mind - to see these baroque instruments played so beautifully is a treat.
I think the smiles and laughs are probably OOPS O Bugger!!! Well done, Balls of Steel!!! I watched it twice, Good Job!!!
Music cannot get more beautiful than this.
Oh for the joy of music, my soul is charmed! Beautiful! Play on!
Lovely piece of classical music and pachelbel in canon d is my favourite
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful ensemble. Absolutely beautiful!
My all-time favorite flash mob. Amazing work by all the people involved.
Sounds absolutely beautiful to me, well done
The harpsichord Is another great stringed instrument and best played with Canon in D.
Never has there been so little flash in a mob. Brilliant though of course.
Liked the music. Like a variety and really enjoyed this. Look how many people stopped to listen.
Although the sound is different from what I'm use to for this piece-- it's the instruments, a nice thing as it's lovely. Thank you for posting this. 🌞
People scurry by on their way to buy, buy, consume. Having got time to .....must shop...must spend.
Gorgeous! Wonderful!
excellent!
Watching them carry a harpsichord through the man made me chuckle.
thank you for posting, thoroughly enjoyed listening to this wonderful classic :)
really great !!!
Fabulous .Had I been there I would have hung around and even danced
I went to Edmonton 1 month ago
I wish to have listened this :(

I cant believe the cello player is smiling when playing canon
Leo Lu then you clearly have no understanding of the delight in being able to create music and be part of something bigger and wonderful. Yours is the most stupid comment I’ve read in months.
🤣😂🤣😄🤣😂🤣

Pachelbel divina obra....¿a quien no le agrada...?
Es evidente que a todo el mundo. No me canso de escucharlo Pachelbel una Y otra vez.
Se que hace siete años que interpretaron tan magistral obra y...yo como no podía ser menos pues aunque sea un poco tarde felicitó a los profesores, magníficos ( todos, sin excepción ).

Hermoso.
For those with no knowledge of PERIOD instruments and their sound would be complaining about tuning considering they either never have had the pleasure of hearing their beauty, or are internet music PHD's from A.C.M.E University..
Great performance! Could have used more flash though. Possibly more mob too.
How can they walk by, indifferent to the music and the artists playing, giving their time and effort! In Other flash mob performances I’ve seen in other cities the crowd that comes to listen is huge. Sorry but I cannot understand it.
Quand je pense que dans une salle de concert, un voisin vous regarde d'un air furieux pour un simple petit éternuement étouffé ! 😉
Amei.Divino Abençoado todos que tocam instrumentos musicais. Canon in D é simplesmente adorável .Nossa gratidão a todos os músicos
Viva Canada!
Hermosa música en una versión muuuy interesante por los instrumentos utilizados. No me canso de escucharla. Saludos desde México.
Are you kidding me? Shoppers thought this was paid ambiance??? I cannot believe the area was not packed with an appreciative audience🤔
Really touching, but people walk, walk, walk, run, run, run....
Hello Lynn Rob,
It was a highly organized event. Yes, we sat down with the management of the mall and they where very enthusiastic. But only because that was a very unique project. They supplied us with the best location. Also, we where able to use a empty space close by to tune and prepare. Security was notified. My advise: Let the authorities know, they can be a great help with your project.
Good luck with the preparation and have fun.
Figures something like this would happen in Edmonton after I moved to the Vancouver area.
Excellent Work !
Thanks for sharing. Well Done to all
(I don't care if you all had sheet music or not)
Muy bien excelente
Me fascina su Música, Respetuosamente AROLDO 🤓 gracias.
Gracias por su atención,me encanta la música exquisita, Respetuosamente AROLDO 🤓🤗
whoa... thats a viol
How did they get a harpsichord in the mall? hahahaha! Wonderful idea!! wish we had this here in the Philippines!!
Pity they did'nt have a Baroque Triple Harp but very enjoyable!
Paste into TH-cam this and see what you see Flash mob at Copenhagen Central Station. Copenhagen Phil playing
OKAY!! ITS NOT "FLASH MOB" SO WHAT????
ENJOY PLEASE!!!
That´s the baroque D at 415.3 Hz baroque tuning
Comment résister devant une telle splendeur, même si ce n'est pas la plus merveilleuse des versions?
Sympa, merci!
One of them is my teacher.
*holds up lighter*
wooooow
I always have trouble with this piece when played in any sort of rushed fashion as this was. Perhaps it was because the bowing was slower and light like a soft breeze! It is not a race though some play it as if it were!
Nice
Period instruments? So important . . yet Not a single one ID'd??? WHY ?
esta un poquito rápido, pero igual se escucha bien
I saw the same for all Flash Mob in the US! Canadians are not better. Only folk music is touching the ears of them!
Canadians too polite to stop and listen incase they distract the musicians
fiachraswaz that did make me lough peace🦖👍
It's called "canon" for a reason! I'm sure these musicians know what canon is, I still have to say it, canon is when one instrument/voice start playing and some measures/bars later joins other, playing same melody, but bit late. So I don't get why to play so many instruments in unison!? I think that's why they got off the tune... there is whole orchestra, guys you could play something else instead of composition for 4-6 insruments...
+Nikoloz Tskvitinidze Hi, well the answer is that it's not really a "canon" but rather a "passacaglia", or what Professor Schikele would call a "ground round" - the constantly repeated bassline with melodic variations over top......
Real canon or not, idea is that when second and third instruments start playing they repeat what was previously played, but it harmoniclly fills up what is played by first and other instruments. So why unison, I don't get it. With that amount of musicians they could play something more interesting...
They are amateurs and they play very well. Negative posters won't play at all.
Was it the acoustics 🤯
Can you imagine Peanuts characters playing this song .
2019 ??
xoxo
where smile?
why does the cellist need sheet music there are literally 8 notes in that part XD
You can get lost. The harpsichord can distract the cellist, plus anyways the cellist adds more emotion. Who even wants to listen to an all harpsichord continuo anyway?
The cellist doesn't have sheet music.
