    Pachelbel's Canon for train horns.

    Train enthusiasts and Baroque specialists unite: this is the video for you.

    An enduring Baroque masterpiece has been given an adventurous new outing, and there’s no chance of this performance falling off the rails.

    YouTuber Pavel Jirásek has reworked Pachelbel’s Canon for 3 violins and basso continuo with a grand selection of blaring train horns, apparently collected from footage taken around the UK and Europe.

    The horns, pitch-perfectly assembled, are synced to a backing track. Pavel made the video back in 2017, but it’s just been rediscovered and people are appreciating its magnificence.

    Maybe there was a mix-up in the type of conductor booked? In any case, it’s clearly a masterpiece. Do watch and enjoy.





    My view, Its one of those things that is funny but awful at the same time.
    NO way I would call this magnificent.

    By sheer coincidence this 'rendition' of the Canon appeared among my YouTube recommendations maybe a week ago. As someone with a 'thing' for trains (though it's steam-era locos that rock my boat rather than modern motive power) I find it quite entertaining.
