Romance Volume 3: Peaceful Pachelbel
Johann Pachelbel was one of the great organist-composers of his day, a man who could count Bach's teacher among his pupils. His church music is highly regarded and innovative in the way it links the pitches of the notes to meaning. His lilting Canon in D is a little piece by comparison to his big sacred works, but its charming grace has made it a favorite piece for weddings, sound tracks, and compilation CDs. The canon in D major was written in or around 1680 and is particularly well known for its chord progression. A progression borrowed many times over in the world of popular music. George Amatino combines soothing ocean sounds with this wedding processional favorite, and repeats it many times over, creating a soothing and relaxing album. A best seller since its first release.
