Pachelbel’s Canon, also known as the Canon in D, is a renowned piece of music composed by the German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel. This exquisite work was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo, and it is paired with a lively dance known as the Gigue. Both movements are set in the key of D major.
I remember the first-time I heard this piece of music and for many hearing it for the first time it is a spiritual experience.
In the long run it is the Journey (the tacky band) of classical music. And I hear it today on that masterpiece of Capitalism. Yes, I am talking about Valentines Day. It is nice to hear this over played cheesy masterpiece and hopefully it will get somebody laid today.
