| Added by magataganm, 16 Sep 2023 Johann Pachelbel (1653 - 1706) was a German composer, organist, and teacher who brought the south German organ schools to their peak. He composed a large body of sacred and secular music, and his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque era. His music enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime; he had many pupils and his music became a model for the composers of south and central Germany. Today, Pachelbel is best known for the Canon in D; other well known works include the Chaconne in F minor, the Toccata in E minor for organ, and the Hexachordum Apollinis, a set of keyboard variations. Unlike his Canon in D Major, the gigue is set in 12/8 time and consists of 2 equal sections of 10 bars each. Unlike the canon, the gigue neither has a repeating bass voice nor a set chord progression. The gigue exhibits fugal writing, with each section introducing a brief melodic statement which is then imitated in the other voices. Although the canon is intricate in its own sense, and goes through a gradual evolution of basic melody, becoming even more elaborate with progression, the gigue accompanying the work is a lively Baroque dance form, which was intended to follow the canon and also crafted in the same key.

Although originally composed for Organ, I created this Interpretation of Gigue in D Major (P. 37) for String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
