Aside from the Canon in D, what do you know about Pachelbel? He was a predecessor to Bach, taught one of J.S. Bach's older brothers, was essential to the development of the chorale prelude, and had a son who emigrated to the US!
Charles Theodore Pachelbel
Music was present in the US colonies as well! This contemporary of Bach and son of the composer of Canon in D emigrated to Boston, helped install the organ in Trinity Church, Newport RI, and then spent the rest of his life working in Charleston.
