perpetual canon

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

perpetual canon

In music, a canon in which each part begins again as soon as it is finished, the other parts being at that moment at other stages of their progress. Since even a perpetual canon must finish sooner or later, however, it is broken off at a point agreed to by the performers.
