Tilly formed his forces in seventeen tercios, large formation of pikemen and musketeers fifty men abreast and thirty men deep. This formation was deadly for everything in its forward path, but it did

widely known canon; Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel. Most known for this Canon in D Major, Johann Pachelbel is considered one of the most influential musical figures from the Baroque era. A German born composer, teacher and organist, Pachelbel is said to be a primary contributor to German organ music. His music was highly successful during his lifetime and has continued to stay a relevant fixture in today’s world. In this paper, I will show that Johann Pachelbel was pivotal in the

text book, and proceeded to prove their point. John Locke speculated that “truth and knowledge… are out of observation and experience rather than manipulation of accepted or given ideas." Johann Bernhard Basedow (1724-1790) developed new teaching methods that were simply based on interaction with a child.

Therefore, the texture of music became very important. When I look at the musical texutre of the Cantata No. 78 by J. S.
