Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Well, most people probably know it, but its melody is also hugely overused in pop, and turns up way more than most people realise. If you’ve got five minutes and haven’t seen it already, go watch Rob Paravonian’s Pachelbel Rant.
That’s amazing. I feel for the cellists now. I started on Violin, but I wasn’t big enough for a full sized violin till I was 9 or 10 years old. I was very happy to get rid of my 3/4 sized violin.
One, dude just played an instrument in the lower register. He fucked up. I quit trombone after a year in (small) part because what’s the fun in setting the bass line?
Two, it seems like Canon was sort of “rediscovered” in the late 1960s and the people just absolutely fucking loved that chord progression and pop musicians and their producers were no exception.
On a personal level, I first ran across it as a kid when I found a MIDI file of it on my Tandy PC, which was known for having above average samples for the sequencer, and I thought it was lovely too.
