Choral Choir (4-Part) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.792121 Composed by Johann Pachelbel. Arranged by Terrett, Keith. Baroque,Classical. Octavo. 19 pages. Gordon Cherry #3565739. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792121). Pachelbel's grand Chorale Partita with Seven Variations in G is based on the 17th Century Protestant German hymn tune Alle Menschen müssen sterben (All of Mankind is Mortal) by Jakob Hintze. The original form of the work was in C major with eight variations, composed for Organ. Bach, being greatly influenced by Pachelbel, later took up the melody for use in one of his Cantatas. Keith Terrett has done a great job arranging these elaborate variations of about 6 minutes in length for a Tuba Ensemble quintet of advanced performers.
