A musical form consisting of variations over a repeating bass line or chord progression, prominent in Baroque music.
From Spanish chacona; possibly from indigenous Caribbean or African origin, brought to Europe in the 16th century through cultural exchange.
A chaccon is like a musical conversation where the accompaniment never budges but the melody dances—Bach wrote immortal chacons where the bass line becomes hypnotic.
