Canon (musica)
Canon in plurimis scriptis est compositio musica polyphoniae in duabus vel pluribus vocibus quae melodiam absolute et accurate imitantur, sed non semper in eiusdem tonis; plerumque autem, "canon est regula voluntatem compositoris sub obscuritate quadam ostendens" (Iohannes Tinctoris, Diffinitorium, ca. 1500). Exemplum familiare est carmen cuius titulus est Frater Iacobus (Francogallice "Frère Jacques").
