B Pachelbel's Canon — I – V – vi – iii – IV – I – IV – V
The B Pachelbel Canon progression (B – F# – G#m – D#m – E – B – E – F#) is one of the most influential harmonic sequences in music history. Its eight-chord descending bass line has been adapted into pop, rock, and hip-hop. With seventh voicings (BMaj7 – F#7 – G#m7 – D#m7 – EMaj7 – BMaj7 – EMaj7 – F#7), it gains a lush, orchestral texture.
