I very much enjoy Pachelbel's Canon in D - enough that
I picked up a CD many years ago called "Pachebel's
Greatest Hit" - the entire CD is comprised of 8 different
versions/instrumentations/ingterpretations of the Canon.

None of which are like the one in the comic.

Thankfully.

That tune has wound up in a *lot* of popular
music. This list isn't even remotely exhaustive:

....and then there's Rob Paravonian's "Pachelbel Rant", which also has a
list of the Canon's influence on popular music:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxC1fPE1QEE

The original was posted in 2006, but it was only available at 240p (and has
been viewed 15.8 million times despite that).

This video is at 480p, and was posted in November 2019 by Rob Paravonian
himself. The comments on the youtube page include a list of the songs
referenced in the video.

At one time, I enjoyed it so much that I bought a CD with - 15 - arrangements on it. It was too much even for me.

Understandable.

But in any case, I Googled up a vague memory, and confirmed that
I was conditioned to love Pachelbel's Canon in D, by hearing the version
performed by James Galway, in the same place where I heard
Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons - the performance is not identified -
which place, if it is not already obvious, becomes inescapably identified
when I mention that it also included in its soundtrack part of "Heaven and Hell"
by Vangelis.

In the event that this is percieved as impossibly obscure, I will
recount the opening words of the first episode of this limited
series of documentaries:

The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be. Our contemplations of the
cosmos stir us. There is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation
as if a distant memory of falling from a great height. We know we are approaching
the grandest of mysteries.
The size and age of the cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost
somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home, the Earth. For
the first time we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves. This is
a time of great danger, but our species is young and curious and brave; it shows
much promise. In the last few millenia, we have made the most astonishing and
unexpected discoveries about the cosmos and our place within it. I believe our future
depends powerfully on how well we understand this cosmos in which we float like a
mote of dust in the morning sky.

Need I say that the narrator was an astronomer at Cornell University?

By the way, I came across this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m_6DeacwtY

of it being played on four marimbas (by one person, with video editing).
