You can just about (but not quite) fit Pachelbel's Canon onto a standard kiddy xylophone (eight notes all in different colors)? Well, now you do. *hums* Of course, you can't do it at all if you want to hear it with any sort of harmony, but you take what you can get.

And a question. Do you expect there to be a point to This LIttle Piggy? I was playing with Ana, and Jenn commented that it made no sense. Sure, we understand the bit about "going to market" and "staying home", it's all good, but what's up with the roast beef, she says? And having none? Is that the best they can come up with? she says? To my mind, these pigs are all just the same pig, they're just the prelude to going "wee wee wee all the way home".

Nearly- I think it misses off two notes, if I'm remembering it correctly, but it comes close(yeah, I tried it *grins*). I hated having to play that song; it's very tedious. Nice to listen to, though.

I adore that piece of music. It's used Here (http://www.portail-basset-hound.com/memorial/pachelbel_johann.htm) to good effect.

I love Pachelbel's Canon. I love playing it, even, which seems to be very unusual, even for non-cellists. I feel sorry for the cellos, they must get so bored...

You can also fit most of Ode to Joy on a xylophone, and all of Amazing Grace, I think. And Yankee Doodle if you start on G.

Yankee Doodle only works if it has the accidentals; you'd have to throw an F# in there...

I was sure you could do Yankee Doodle. Hmm. I guess you're right...
