Pachelbel’s Canon was written by Johann Pachelbel in 1680, during the Baroque period, as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo. Here it is beautifully translated for the hip hop generation, courtesy of some friendly monsters and the fine fellows in the Detroit Illharmonic Symphony!
