Johann Pachelbel (baptised 1 September 1653 – buried 9 March 1706) was an important German composer and organist, who by a quirk of fate is largely known for one minor composition. [His baptismal day is usually given thus, which is O.S.; his N.S. date of 11 September is sometimes seen.]
Three Variation on the Pachelbel Canon
(1)
September first! I might as well
Consider Johan Pachelbel,
Who wrote one piece that’s now iconic, --
His canon that has D as tonic.
(2)
A string quartet, which cast a spell
When playing Johann Pachelbel,
Was bored by this and other fare
Requested by the wedding pair.
(3)
The bridesmaids spaced in single file
Floated down the sacred aisle
With Pachelbel, refined and arty.
To elevate the bridal party.
