Pachabel

What is it about Pachabel's Canon that is so invigorating? It has a strong sense of restrained might. It is like standing in the monastery during vigils. It is the feeling of light welling up. Warmth, yet not ready to be released. It is reminiscent of the storms of adolescence when they were finally kept within. The desire to run, to jump, to thrash, to scream, to tear, to destroy, all must be contained. The self control required as I listen to that piece wipes me out every time.
