Johann Pachelbel

3 March 2006 - It's exactly 300 years since Johann Pachelbel left the world.

His "Canon in D" is the piece of work I like most among all classical music. It was even played in my wedding mass by a student of Ceci's secondary school.

The same two-bar bass line and harmonic sequence repeated over and over. The structure of the canon becomes increasingly dense towards the middle of the piece as the variations grow in complexity. Afterwards, the piece gradually returns to a less complex structure. So wonderful.........
