Pachelbel's Canon is the name commonly given to a canon by the German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel. <br /><br />The Canon remained forgotten for centuries and was rediscovered only in the 20th century. After it was first published in 1919, the piece became extremely popular. The piece's chordal progression has been appropriated in numerous commercial pop hits, particularly during the 1990s, such as in Pet Shop Boys cover of "Go West", Coolio's "C U When U Get There" and Green Day's "Basket Case"<br /><br />As well as being a popular choice for weddings, it has featured in many films and television series such as: Grey's Anatomy, House M.D., The Proposal and Fantasic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.<br /><br />Point Classics brings you the '30 Second Classics' series.
