A sacred choral work typical of Pachelbel's contrapuntal style, often associated with Lutheran church music traditions.
Johann Pachelbel's Magnificat in D major (P.246) is a Baroque choral work composed for four-part choir and basso continuo. Based on the biblical canticle of Mary, it exemplifies Lutheran church music with intricate counterpoint and expressive textures. Written around 1690, it predates his renowned Canon in D and reflects the solemn yet ornate style of late-17th-century German sacred music.
