Riffing the canon.(musical canons )
When I was invited to speak about musical canons to the Music Library Association (MLA) and the Society for American Music (SAM) during their joint conference in Pittsburgh in February 2007, my first instinct was to race for the nearest exit. As you will soon see, I have an anticanonical bias that is more the result of my peculiar educational history than any theoretical considerations. So my talk will be anecdotal and experiential. I shall start with a couple of examples of canonic trauma from my earlier years, and then turn to the evolution of my views of what is often considered a jazz canon, the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz.
