Thanks.

That's the original Pachelbel's "Canon in D".

[LibraryLady]

Yes, that's correct.

[Undesired Walrus]

Thankyou.

Which is of course the basis for many modern pop songs (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM).

This is the arrangement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLKm5txgRmw) used in Cosmos: Neville Marriner conducting the Academy of St Martins in the Field.

The first several times I heard that tune I thought it was called "Saint Martin in the Fields".

When I worked in the music department someone once called and asked for Cockleshell's Canon.
