It’s the very intro of this song by Coolio: (The sampling of classical music)
I will be forever grateful. Thanks!
According to Wikipedia, Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major.
Pachelbel’s Canon in D is one of the most famous pieces of Classical music in the world, and is very frequently borrowed as a theme for contemporary pop.
Ahh! Thanks guys.
…sort of. For example, that pseudo-violin lick in the beginning ain’t Pachelbel. But it’s close enough for horseshoes and hiphop.
As a bassist, I fully support the above rant.
It never ceases to amaze me that the version our quartet plays lasts only 57 measures. If you had asked me, I would have estimated that I repeated that 8 note/2 measure phrase AT LEAST twice as many times.
Truly an example of the fluidity of the time/space continuum!
