Johann Pachelbel

Johann Pachelbel was a German Baroque composer, organist and teacher. Today, Pachelbel is best known for writing ‘Canon’ in D major. Some of his other most well known woks include the Chaconne in F minor, the Toccata in E minor (for organ), and the Hexachordum Apollinis (a set of keyboard variations).
Pachelbel’s date of birth was September 1165, in Nuremberg, Germany. He died on March 3, 1706, in Nuremburg, Germany. Pachelbel was one of the composers of the movement leading to the adoption of equal temperament, making use of as many as 17 different keys in his suites. He applied the variation techniques of the secular suite to the setting for organ of Lutheran chorales.

I'm back.

Well, it's been a few long weeks, but I finally got my hands on a snazzy new webcam. You see, I ran into trouble when I lost my only camera, so that meant I couldn't film myself and put anything new on the site. But I'm back now, and the cam quality is better than the other one, so I'll be filming again soon!
