Johann Pachelbel (died March 9, 1706) was a German Baroque composer, organist and teacher, who brought the south German organ tradition to its peak. He composed a large body of sacred and secular music, and his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque era.

Pachelbel wrote Cannon in D around 1680, while working at the Predigerkirche in Erfurt, Germany; it has since been updated with a rock music theme. It recently was performed on a popular video on YouTube by a teenager in China on an electric guitar.
