Pachelbel's Canon and Gigue in D major, P. 37, is a chamber work for three violins and basso continuo, probably composed in the 1680s. The title names two movements in the same key: a canon of 57 bars and a gigue of 20 bars, a lively dance that was meant to be played straight after it. A performance takes about six to seven minutes. The canon runs on a simple plan. The continuo repeats a two-bar bass pattern, a formula known as the Romanesca, 28 times, while the three violins enter one after another at the unison, at measures 2, 4 and 6, and carry 27 variations above the bass. No record survives of why the piece was written or when it was first played, and the popular idea that it was written for a Bach family wedding has no hard evidence. The oldest surviving manuscript copy was made between 1838 and 1842 and is kept in the Berlin Staatsbibliothek, and the Canon was first printed in 1919, in Gustav Beckmann's article on Pachelbel as a chamber composer. It stayed relatively obscure until a 1968 recording by Jean-François Paillard, which is credited with launching its modern popularity. Today the Canon is common at weddings and was heard in the 1980 film Ordinary People, while the gigue is now largely forgotten.
