The Canon As You’ve Never Heard It Before

I suppose of all the classical music out there, perhaps my favorite is the Pachelbel Canon in D. It’s beautiful melody has soothed me many times, and it seems there’s almost no treatment of music that doesn’t turn out beautiful. Guitar, organ, symphony orchestra, hammered dulcimer…it doesn’t seem to matter, it almost always sounds amazing.

Well here’s a treatment of the tune as you’ve probably never heard it, and it’s great fun. Proof that you can do almost anything to a great piece of music, and it’s still great. So to end your week on a high, literally, enjoy!
