Music Review

Cannon in D major by Johann Pachelbel is a very popular piece. It is also known as Pachelbel's Cannon. It is Johann Pachelbel a German Baroque composer's most famous piece of music. It is my favorite song that has no singing in it and is only orchestra music. I played it before and after that I liked it a lot. The Cannon was forgotten after it was composed then when it was rediscovered in the 20th century and it became really famous. A lot of people use it for weddings and included in classical music compilations. it was originally made for three violins but now whole string orchestras play the song.

  1. Finally I had found someone who also like Cannon in D Major because there doesn't seem to be many people who actually notice orchestra music anymore. Still it would've been better if you add an audio file of this song on the blog so everybody could listen to it and see how beautiful that piece of music is.
