2. WHY Pachelbel?!!

You mean the wedding song?!! Yes, “The Canon” by Johann Pachelbel is widely known as one of the most requested bridal processional music for the modern matrimony. Jae & Paul dissect, and talk about when it was discovered, how it came about, who made it popular, taking examples from different eras to examine how it has changed over the years. In this episode’s SOB (“Secrets of Beethoven) segment, we try to empathize with the composer’s troubles when he gets thrown in jail at the age of 50.
