Pachelbel's claim to fame, this piece lay relatively dormant until becoming popular in the 20th century, especially the latter decades. Can you name any other composition by Pachelbel?
He wrote this for 3 violins and a basso continuo; the variations of arrangement today are virtually numberless.
Though there is no real evidence of the impetus for it's creation, it is possible it was written for the marriage of Johann Christoph Bach, J.S. Bach's older brother; Pachelbel was one of many family members and friends that helped provide music for the occasion.
