Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), was a German Baroque composer, organist and teacher. Canon in D is his most famous composition. It is often used as a wedding processional. A canon is a sort of round in which different groups of instruments play the exact same music, but start at different times.
Note: Virtuoso parts only appear in the score where they differ from the regular parts.
