Two Dances from the German Baroque by Pachelbel et al arr. Stephen Chin
Johann Pachelbel, a renowned German composer, is widely recognized for his masterpiece "Canon in D," which has become one of the most popular and recognizable pieces of classical music. However, his musical contributions go far beyond this iconic piece, as he composed an extensive range of works, including concerti, keyboard suites, and organ compositions.
One of his notable compositions is the beautiful Sarabande, which is built on a bass that outlines the circle of fifths. The piece is a testament to Pachelbel's exceptional talent, as each section has been varied to create even greater interest, making it a timeless piece of music that continues to captivate audiences.
The Rigaudon, composed by German Baroque composer George Bohm, is another noteworthy piece of music. This lively dance showcases the charm and proportion that is characteristic of Baroque music, and its energetic rhythm never fails to inspire joy and a sense of celebration.
