The Complete Vocal Works Johann Pachelbel is known today as a composer of organ music and of a world-famous instrumental canon which frequently features in concert programmes and recording catalogues. However, the same can be said of only a few of his vocal compositions. At most, the motets appear occasionally in church music repertoire. Pachelbelâ??s arias, vocal concerti and large-scale Magnificats have received little attention up to now.

Church musicians and musicologists have long wished for a critical edition of these important works, which survive in Pachelbelâ??s manuscript and were largely composed in his main places of work, Erfurt and Nuremberg . As always with such ventures, new discoveries are to be expected regarding the body of works, source material and the context of the works. This concerns not only beautiful music, but rather a deepening of our understanding of Pachelbel as a key figure between southern and central German traditions, and the recognition of an oeuvre which has all too often been pushed into the shadows by the mighty Bach.


The Critical Edition

The edition aims to make available all of Johann Pachelbelâ??s surviving vocal works in the best possible form. It is edited by the Institut für Musikwissenschaft at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and the Institut für Kirchenmusik at the Kunstuniversität Graz.

Two volumes per year are planned.

As a chronological order is not possible in many cases, the individual works have been arranged according to scoring within their groups. Fragments and works where Johann Pachelbelâ??s authorship is doubtful appear at the end of the respective group.

Each volume includes an introduction (Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Ger). Format 25.5 x 32.5 cm; cloth-bound

David von Kampen masterfully crafts the text of Revelation 21:4 - 5 into an inspiring and striking piece for SATB and piano. A variety of compositional techniques—includin g declamatory writing, polytextuality, and a skillful use of key—connect the biblical text and song powerfully. Smaller choirs can easily adapt this piece for two-part voicing by singing just soprano and tenor in the middle section. Use this piece for Easter Vigil, during the rest of the Easter Season, on All Saints' Day, and for funerals.

Revelation 21:4 - 5 (ESV)

He will wipe away ev'ry tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

And He who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Michael Larkin's gentle anthem of comfort is based on Isaiah 43:1 - 4. The luscious choral textures are supported by a decorative piano accompaniment, making this an accessible piece for choirs of all abilities. The text appears in Lutheran Service Book's Three-Year Lectionary, Series C, as the Old Testament Reading for the Baptism of Our Lord. The piece also makes a wonderful anthem for baptisms and confirmations.

Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name, and you are Mine.
Do not be afraid, for you are Mine.

When you pass through deep waters the waves will not cover you.
When you pass through the fire the flames will not touch you.
The flames will not touch you.
Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name, and you are Mine.
For I am the Lord your God; you are precious in My sight.

I love you with a perfect love.
I love you with a perfect love, a perfect love.

This familiar Christmas carol is given an ethereal setting by Brian L. Hanson. Supported by a gentle, lilting accompaniment, the strains of 'Still, Still, Still' interweave in both the accompaniment and choral parts. Soaring vocal lines, rich harmonies, and imaginative text painting point to the wonder and mystery of Christmas.

In the bleak midwinter,
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago.

Heaven cannot hold Him,
Nor earth sustain;
Hea v'n and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign;
In the bleak midwinter,
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Je sus Christ.

Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed, the world is sleeping,
Ho ly star its vigil keeping.
Sti ll, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man,
I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him—
W hat can I give Him?
Give my heart.
