Description Johann Pachelbel - Hexachordum Apollinis Huguette Gremy-Chauliac, harpsichord Tracks. 01 Ciacona en re 02 Aria quarta 03 Aria tertia 04 Aria prima 05 Aria quinta 06 Arietta en fa 07 Aria secunda 08 Aria sesta 09 Ciacona The Hexachordum Apollinis was the best known of Pachelbel’s keyboard works during his lifetime and the greatest single contribution to the firm establishment of his reputation. It therefore seems a particularly engaging and interesting introduction to the composer’s oeuvre as a whole and his personality. Its dual dedication to Ferdinand-Tobias Richter (1649-1711) in Vienna and Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) in Lübeck bears witness to the high regard Pachelbel (1653-1706) had for both northern and southern Germanic composers. Pachelbel was close to Buxtehude and foreshadowed Bach, but nonetheless had a distinctive style of his own, characterised by limpidity, melodic elegance, rhythmic inventiveness (often in dance-metre), an instrumental language well adapted to the capabilities of the harpsichord and, if not entirely innovative, at least highly original. Jacqueline Cretel Solstice FYCD874 Hexachordum Apollinis (the title roughly translates to "Six Strings of Apollo" ) was published in 1699 in Nuremberg by Johann Christoph Weigel, a publisher who had worked with Pachelbel before. The frontispiece, created by Cornelius Nicolaus Schurz, describes the collection as "six arias to be played on the organ, or the harpsichord, to whose simple melodies are added variations for the pleasure of Friends of the Muses." The instruments mentioned are referenced on the frontispiece: two cherubs are pictured, one playing a pipe organ (possibly with a pedalboard), the other a single-manual harpsichord or clavichord.
