Easter Cantata. Par PACHELBEL JOHANN. Christ lag in Todesbanden (Christ lay in grim death's prison) Easter Cantata In recent years the demand for making available a larger number of choral works by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) has made itself felt more strongly than ever before. Within the past few years the search for unpublished manuscripts of choral compositions written by Johann Pachelbel has been taken up again and not in vain. Approximately twenty instrumentally accompanied arias and thirty elaborate choral works intended for services of worship have recently been found. These date from the days when Pachelbel was an active church musician in Erfurt and Nuremberg and include compositionsof various categories, e. g. motets, cantatas, magnificats, and masses. The excellency of Pachelbel's choral works may be attributed in large part to the magnificence and splendour of their tonal character. They are unusually vocal, choral, and singable. In the very best sense of the term they are what the Germans call 'Gebrauchsmusik', that is to say, they are functional music written for specific use in the church, service. They are not music written for its own sake. Full score, performance material (BA2875), choral score (BA2875-91) available for sale/ Répertoire / SATB, 4 Parties Mixtes, 2 Violons, 3 VioleSBasson

The anthem 'O sing unto the Lord' presented here, based on words of the 96th Psalm, is a particularly beautiful example of the transformation of the traditional and the modern style into a unified whole.

Magnificat for a Chorus of four mixed voices and Basso continuoPachelbel's choral works excel in the magnificence and festive splendour of their tonal effect but at no point do they depart from an easy singable style. Simplicity of harmonic texture and voice leading is a characteristic of Pachelbel's art generally but it asserts itself especially in these vocal compositions. They are in the best sense of the word 'Gebrauchmusik' that is functional music for the church service on Sundays and feast days for these choral works are always closely associated with the seasonal liturgical themes by means of themnatic employment of the appropriate chorale cantusfirmi.Score & Basso continuo (BA2877) available for sale
