D Pachelbel's Canon — I – V – vi – iii – IV – I – IV – V
The D Pachelbel Canon progression (D – A – Bm – F#m – G – D – G – A) 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 (DMaj7 – A7 – Bm7 – F#m7 – GMaj7 – DMaj7 – GMaj7 – A7), it gains a lush, orchestral texture.
