Pachelbel's Canon was a type of canon designed by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1701). It was a modification of the typical canon (Which many experts say is an improvement on the standard canon). The Typical "Cannon" was a crude device originally conceived by RAV's (Russians Arabs and Villains) to kill or seriously maim there enemies. Unfortunately cannons took an unreasonable amount of time to reload and produced too much collateral damage to structures to be considered an effective weapon.

- I'd call it the oldest and most spread music fad of mankind.
- A very well-known piece of Classical Music. Written by Johann Pachelbel, it is a Canon in passacaglia form, based on an Ostinato (repeating) bass Melody. The piece is usually performed with a string orchestra, but arrangements of it exist for almost every standard ensemble you can think of. It's the one hit that continues to give Pachelbel One-Hit Wonder status. Pachelbel was largely forgotten after his death until 1919, when this piece skyrocketed him to fame.

- A very well-known piece of Classical Music. Written by Johann Pachelbel, it is a Canon in passacaglia form, based on an Ostinato (repeating) bass Melody. The piece is usually performed with a string orchestra, but arrangements of it exist for almost every standard ensemble you can think of. It's the one hit that continues to give Pachelbel One-Hit Wonder status. Pachelbel was largely forgotten after his death until 1919, when this piece skyrocketed him to fame. It is also known by the names "Canon in D", "Pachelbel's Canon in D", and "Kanon D-dur" (the German name, meaning "D major Canon"). The piece is, of course, in D major. Enjoy it by clicking here. It's commonly featured in collections of "light" or "soothing" music, and is often played at weddings. It is also a popular selection for use in Public Domain Soundtracks. The piece is the trope namer for the Pachelbel's Canon Progression. Cellists detest this piece because it involves playing the same 8 note progression 27 times without change or pause.
