Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store.. ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.
The cello has to repeat the exact same 8 notes throughout the piece.
I didn't have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.
First two chords and I'm like "nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Have you seen Pachebel Rant?
Haha I have, at least if I’m thinking of the right thing, the YouTube video? He stretches a few (my degrees are in music theory so I can hear what he means and not all of them are exactly the same chord progressions) but I feel seen nonetheless.
Yeah, Rob Paravonian.
I could have sworn a friend of mine wrote this, because he often said the exact same thing. But, he was a string player.
Personally, it seems like I can't go a day without hearing one of The Four Seasons in media.
Yeah, I feel for the string players, honestly. Especially the ones who take wedding gigs.
