Johann Pachelbel

Johann Pachelbel (1653–1706) was a German Baroque composer and organist whose Canon in D has become one of the best-known pieces of classical music ever written — a serene, endlessly unfolding melody beloved at weddings and concerts alike. A respected teacher connected to the Bach family, Pachelbel wrote a large body of organ and chamber music. Performed live, the gentle, building beauty of the Canon is timeless.
