The famous Canon in D by Pachelbel, performed on 4 violas

When I had the idea to make this video, it was mostly ironic, but I actually loved learning and recording it. It truly exemplifies the simple beauty of instrumental sound and harmony. Why play it on viola? I was curious to hear what it would sound like and in the end I was pleased by the richness and resonance of 4 violas together.

I literally used the violin part for this video, available on IMSLP and probably many other websites. The cello is up an octave to fit the viola's register.
