List of compositions by Johann Pachelbel

Approximately 530 compositions have been attributed to Johann Pachelbel. As of 2009, no standard numbering system exists for Pachelbel's work. This article presents a thematically organized list and provides catalogue numbers from three different catalogues:

For organ works, POP catalogue numbers are provided, from catalogue by Antoine Bouchard for his 1998–2001 recording of Pachelbel's organ oeuvre (this catalogue only covers organ works). Perreault numbers are used as the basis of the list, making individual sections organized alphabetically (i.e. the chorales) and/or by tonality. Because the Welter catalogue does not provide incipits, many of the works with identical titles will share a single PC number (which is in such cases denoted by a question mark).

The following symbols are used:

Similarly to catalogues of works by most early music composers, Pachelbel's list of works remains perpetually incomplete as new works are regularly found.

Organ music

Chorale preludes

Pachelbel composed chorale preludes to the following hymns:

Miscellany

P Composition Description
23 [deleted]  
53!–54! "Zwei Chörichte Sonaten, in specie dessen Serenata" Sonatas for choir and ensemble ("serenades"?). They were mentioned by Johann Heinrich Buttstett in his 1716 treatise Ut, mi, sol, re, fa, la, tota musica et harmonia aeterna, along with Johann Michael Bach's Revange, as examples of highly refined music. Neither Pachelbel's nor J.M. Bach's works survive.[4]
99 Deutlich Anweisung. Wie man durchs ganze Jahr bey wehrenden Gottesdienst, so wohl in den Vespern als Tagambt, bey S. Sebald m. der Orgel zu intonieren und zu respondiren sich zu verhalten habe. A set of liturgical instructions for organists of St. Sebaldus Church.
130 Fugen und Praeambuln über die gewöhnlichsten Tonos figuratos "Fugues and Preludes in all church modes", a collection announced in 1704 book fair catalogues. It was to be published in 1705, however, no trace of it remains.[5] Welter identifies this with a manuscript chorale collection, the so-called Weimar Tabulaturbuch.[6]
