Ah, the return of Friday Funnies!
There’s one piece of classical music that just about everyone in the so-called developed world has heard at least once in their life: Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
Some people love it (I’m one of the ones who loves it played properly), others loathe it because it is one of the most overplayed pieces ever. Here is a great rant that put a smile on my face:
And, now if you’d like to hear a beautiful harp version, the real thing, I invite you to listen here. Beautifully done:

And this rock version that I’ve heard before that is just awesome:
When I watched the first video, I laughed so hard I cried. I used to play that song over and over on the piano and I know I drove my younger brother crazy. I even walked down the aisle to it on my wedding day. Thanks for the laugh. It felt great!
I must be one of very few who’ve ever heard any version of Pachelbel, however the harp version was beautiful.
First video was great, thanks for the laugh.
The rock video sound reminds me of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, where they take orchestral music and translate it to rock. Well done, loved all three!
