Canon in D by Pachelbel
Notes
Pachelbel was a German composer of the eighteenth century. This canon (originally for three violins and bass) is instantly recognisable from the first few notes. It works very well on the organ.
I don’t recommend this piece for the Entrance of the Bride, because it takes a long time to reach its climax, and co-ordination with the Bridal procession can be fraught in most churches.
Originally for 3 violins, organ and cello
