Question
Trans Siberian Orchestra has a song called 'Christmas Canon Rock' and it starts off with a song. I'd like to know who orignally composed it and the name. It's pretty popular at weddings. I love it, but I just don't want all the Christmas lyrics with it. Thanks for your time.

Answer
I think you are looking for Pachelbel's Canon in D.  You can find this in every music store, every classical download site, and almost every public library.  There are lots of different performances/versions.  At a place like iTunes store, you can listen to the first minute or so before you buy.
