Canon in D


Canon in D (Composed by Pachelbel)


This version played using electronic violin is just AWESOME.

Sharing this on my blog coz I just felt this renewed surge of energy in me.
Life is getting more and more exciting.
Not to mention, this mucis was both used in Bella and mine's wedding!
We simply love this and nobody should miss this..!
Therefore, Pachelbel Canon in D is gorgeously meaningful to Kizzofgoddess!


If you are looking for a song on your wedding ROM or dinner, 
this could be your alternative choice if you are stuck on it :)


Johann Pachelbel


Johann Pachelbel lived from 1653-1706. 
In 1671, at the age of 18, he moved to Vienna (Austria) where he became a student. 
In 1692 he moved to Nuremburg where he lived until his death in 1706. 


The Canon was written around 1680 and it is Mr. Pachelbel’s most famous piece. 
The original was written for three violins with a bass accompaniment and a gigue.


A German Baroque composer, organist and teacher, who brought the south German organ tradition to its peak. He composed a large body of sacred and secular music, and his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque era.


Pachelbel's music enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime; he had many pupils and his music became a model for the composers of south and central Germany.
