How is this based on Pachabel? (sp?) It doesn't sound like his Cannon at all. The progression isn't even right. It's I V VI III IV V IV V. Honestly, it sounds like that music you hear in a Cadilac commercial where the car is driving along a peaceful road.
Psst, it's also not a V in the middle there (underlined above). It's a I.

And there's only one "N" in the middle of "c-a-n-o-n"

However, I think you should show a tiny bit more civility here. The person posted a piece which they entitled "tribute", not copy, or imitation, or paraphrase.


To the OP:

I think you have a nice start, however, permit me to say, I think you return to the tonic a tiny bit too fast in your progression. Try to balance out the length of each set of harmony you use. Right now, you have two longer "strophes" and then the final cadential one is much too short in comparison.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
