A ChordProgression made famous by the well-known CanonInD in D major, which is the trope namer.

The progression is usually in a major key, and usually runs as follows: I V vi iii IV I IV V (repeat). If in a minor key, it is usually: i v VI III iv i iv V (repeat). Occasionally, II or ii or ii° may be substituted for the last IV/iv, and I or I6 (or i or i6) may be substituted for the iii or III.

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAgkmnqz2nE#t=1m16s This link]] starts at where that high melody comes in, which is where we get the progression, with a ii substituting for the last IV.
