While researching the effects of music as a stress reducer, I have come across countless studies by everyone from respected neurologists to Ivy League Universities and although not all agree on the “scientific” results, I was surprised to find that one piece of music in particular was used in most; Pachelbel’s Canon.
Composed by Johann Pachelbel before the turn of the 17th century, this treasure was lost to time for nearly 200 years. Rediscovered in the 1920s, Pachelbel’s Canon has become a favorite of musicians, wedding planners and even scientists. Real Music artists Hilary Stagg, Danny Wright, and Anastasi are among those who admire the timeless beauty of this piece, listen to their renditions and feel the stress melt away.
