The timeless piece “Canon in D Major” was composed by Johann Pachelbel around 1680.  If you have never given it a listen, I do not know how you have escaped it!  Here is a video for a quick listen (just in case):
Pachelbel was a German composer, and “Canon in D” is his most well-known work. Â It was originally written for a string quartet, so it sounds so uplifting and classic with a live quartet at weddings.
The piece starts with a simple melody and moderately builds to a sentimental construction that is perfect for weddings. Â It is a piece traditionally to which the bride would walk down the aisle. Â It makes a great processional song for any family member as well.
Many still choose this piece for any moment in the ceremony because it is such a beautiful and well-known piece.
