| Canon (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (873 words) |
 | In a crab canon, also known as cancrizans, the follower accompanies the leader backward (in retrograde). |
| Many such canons were composed during the Renaissance, particularly in the late 15th and early 16th centuries; Johannes Ockeghem wrote an entire mass (the Missa Prolationum) in which each section is a mensuration canon, and all at different speeds and entry intervals. |
| Such a canon is often called a round or rota (Sumer is icumen in) is one example of a piece designated rota. |
