Music Notes:
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was born in Nuremberg Germany.
He attended Universities in Altdorf and Regensberg, then went to
Vienna and worked as deputy organist (1671-3 Imperial Chapel,
1673-6 St Stephen Cathedral), then moved several more times,
working as organist in: Eisenach (1677 Court); Erfurt (1678-90
Protestant Predigerkirche, during which wife and child died of
plague in 1683, then remarried and had 7 children); Stuttgart
(1690-2 Wurttemberg Court, then left due to threat of French
invasion); Gotha (1692-5 town organist); Nuremberg (1695-1706
St Sebald). He had close connections with J S Bach's parents
(they selected him to be godfather to a daughter, and music teacher
to a son). J S Bach had access to his music and admired his work.
Wrote: motets, spiritual songs, Masses, Magnificats, sacred concertos,
harpsichord suites, sets of variations, various instrumental works,
~250 organ pieces.
Liturgical Notes:
General Instruction of the Roman Missal (2003 GIRM # 45):
"Even before the celebration itself, it is commendable that silence
be observed in the church, in the sacristy, in the vesting room,
and in adjacent areas, so that all may dispose themselves to carry out
the sacred action in a devout and fitting manner."
