22 Days of Music: Day 14

[rsadelle]

The two songs in close competition for my favorite pieces of classical music are Handel's "Joy to the World" and Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major." I love Pachelbel's Canon so much that I actually own Pachelbel's Greatest Hit, a CD that has eight different versions of the song on it. I've also been listening to "Alleluia (To Pachelbel's Canon in D)" by Robert Gass & Wings of Song on repeat for the last couple of days. It's hard to choose a favorite version, but I do very much like this one by the Canadian Brass.

Oh, you fixed it. *g*

Wait. Fixed what? Did I break something?

Presumably, you've seen this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM). And you can get even more, if you strip away the key: I V VI III I V I V.

I hadn't seen it! I love that he plays it on the guitar the whole time.
