Music Set #249 - Pachelbel - Canon

Johann Pachelbel
[ˈjoːhan ˈpaxɛlbəl]  (1653 – 1706)

Canon is a polyphonic technique in which several voices play the same music, entering in sequence. 
 
In Pachelbel's Canon, there are 3 voices (violins) engaged in canon, plus an independent 4th voice, the basso continuo 
- a voicy version
 
It experienced a tremendous surge in popularity during the 1970s, probably due to a recording by Jean-François Paillard in 1970.
Jean-François Paillard Chamber Orchestra - a popular version
How Where When - a lovely version

Now one of the most recognized and famous baroque compositions, it has in recent years become extremely popular for use in weddings (rivalling that of Wagner's Bridal Chorus).
我的野蛮女友 / 엽기적인그녀 - a courageous version
What she was doing - a digital version
Bonus:
* Patene Commercial - a touching version
string quartet - a funny version
