I absolutely love the song Pachelbel’s Canon! When arranged by Trans-Siberian Orchestra for Christmas Canon, it makes a beautiful song!
My favorite section begins at 1:56. You’ll know it when you get to it.
I once saw an album titled Pachelbel’s Greatest Hit, with nothing but fifteen arrangements of Canon. The song is definitely worth it!
Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a progressive rock band formed in 1996. Since then, they have become a staple of American and European Christmas traditions. Their music is a very impressive blend of electronica, rock, and symphony, and I make it a must to listen to them during the holidays.
They’ve released three Christmas albums, which makes their holiday music repertoire rather deep. I understand their concerts are absolutely amazing.
