This is the place for this kind of pointless, idiotic and subjective blanther 😃 Pachelbel’s Canon in D I haven’t even begun a study of classical (or other music), but I’m going to, which is going to be enlightening. This is a song that everybody’s heard and that you don’t have to know anything about classical music to recognize, and which is already renowned- if classical radio stations took requests, this would be a big one. I’ve gotta catch a symphony this summer (if they play the aforementioned). Too bad many are sick of it by now. ---

Someone will probably move this over to Cafe Society, but before they do, let me just say if you like Pachelbel’s Canon (which is indeed a beautiful piece of music) you should look for a track called Rebel Heart, by the Corrs. It’s a contemporary instrumental, but puts me very much in the same"mood" as the Canon does.
