Pachelbel's Canon

Pachelbel’s Canon is a work that needs no introduction. During his life, Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was a well-known German composer for organ and keyboard, writing church choral and chamber music. A canon is a type of composition whereby a melody is repeated by a different voice or instrument in the group after a certain delay, giving rise to layers of the same tune heard at different times. Pachelbel demonstrated this to beautiful effect.
Pachelbel's Canon was almost entirely unknown until it was recorded by Jean-François Paillard’s chamber orchestra in 1968, and has remained popular ever since, making appearances in pop culture and media, and of course, weddings. The arrangement performed in this video by Singapore-based Romanian composer-cellist Khachatur Khachatryan is based on this classic recording.

The Pachelbel Canon from our Christmas Concert 2022. We will publish the entire concert's video for all of UA-cam towards the end of 2023. But for now, to our loyal members, please enjoy this early release of just the Canon. Do you recognise it? This is our attempt to bring back the classic 1968 version made famous by Jean-François Paillard’s chamber orchestra.

I just love the calm demeanor with which maestro Barráez conducts the SSO. I saw him conduct with Chloe as soloist. It was quite a performance!
