There is a Wiki page on this
Thanks to the Professor on AP and the Admin on another forum for the same link

Pachelbel's Canon (formally the Canon in D major; full German title: Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo) is the most famous piece of music by Johann Pachelbel. It was written in or around 1680,

I'll bet no one on the planet could give you the full title in German!
Basso Continuo = any number of instruments which play in the bass register such as cello, double bass, bass viol, viola da gamba, or bassoon.
