Mash-up!

It's very fair to say that our most requested piece of music EVER is Canon in D by Pachelbel. I decided to have a little 'dig around' into the history of the piece and discovered that it's not only Key Largo Trio that get asked for it a lot.  It has been the most popular and requested piece of music for a wedding since 1680!  Wow.  And it's officially the best known piece of classical music ever.

Mr Pachelbel

Not to detract from it's enduring popularity and elegant beauty, but when analysed, the piece is actually eight bars of music repeated 28 times!  Kind of cool really.

Anyway, to entertain ourselves we thought it might be fun to play around with it and we found that we could 'blend in' (a very good friend of mine has informed me I can only use the term 'mash up' if I am under the age of 21!)  the pop song 'True Colours' written by Billy Steinberg (lyrics) and Tom Kelly (music).  Apparently Billy wrote the lyrics for his mother!  

'True Colours,' made famous by Cyndi Lauper

So we had a little play, and a little practise and this is what we came up with.

Hope you like this lovely little Key Largo Trio 'mash up'.  Sorry.  Can't help it. I never did intend to grow old(er) gracefully!
