Pachelbel's Canon (also known as the Canon in D, P 37) is an accompanied canon by the German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel. The canon was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo and paired with a gigue, known as Canon and Gigue for 3 violins and basso continuo. Both movements are in the key of D major.
Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D major, written in the mid-Baroque period and revived from obscurity in the 1960s, has been credited with inspiring pop songs. Some pop songs borrow its chord progression, bass line, or melodic structure, a phenomenon attributed to the memorability and simplicity of the work.
A famous piano piece, "River Flows in You" in the key of F# minor by South Korean Pianist Lee Ru-ma or Yiruma, features a repetitive canon using the same key progression (F#, D, A, E x2). Since its recognition online, there have been multiple covers of the song, including a mashup of it with Johann Pachelbel's Canon and Gigue in D Major. [65]
For organ works, POP catalogue numbers are provided, from catalogue by Antoine Bouchard for his 1998–2001 recording of Pachelbel's organ oeuvre (this catalogue only covers organ works). Perreault numbers are used as the basis of the list, making individual sections organized alphabetically (i.e. the chorales) and/or by tonality.
