Misc. Notes A celebrated Baroque piece, Pachelbel's "Canon in D" explode warmth, beauty and piece. A favorite for concerts, recitals and especially weddings (as a prelude, unity candle music, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional), this arrangement is very close to Pachelbel's original composition and also makes a moving prelude or offertory for church services and worship events. Key: D Major.
