Johann Pachelbel (1653 - 1706) is best known for his "Canon and Gigue",
a frighteningly popular piece in the Classical Music repertory. One can
hardly listen to classical music on FM without hearing it again and again.
You can read a short biography of Pachelbel at
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/3435/his_life.html
Details of his brief repertory can be found at
http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/pachlbel.html
Unfortunately, the 'official' Pachelbel site,
http://www.pachelbel.org/
appears to be offline at present.
And, for what it is worth, Pachelbel's Canon is one of my LEAST FAVORITE
items in classical music. I hate, loathe, and despise it. Anyone else
concur?
I guess there is just no accounting for taste. <G>
