Lamb of God, Pure and Holy

This beautiful and moving setting by Johann Pachelbel of the hymn "Lamb of God, Pure and Holy" (O LAMM GOTTES, UNSCHULDIG) is arranged here for String Quartet or String Ensemble with optional keyboard. Originally composed for organ, this work lends itself well to strings and provides an opportunity for string players to experience and enjoy some of Pachelbel's other music besides the Canon in D. In a secular setting, this work is an excellent introduction into Pachelbel's organ works which were well-known by Johann Sebastian Bach and likely influenced his own compositions to some degree. In a worship setting, this arrangement is particularly suitable for the Lenten Season, Holy Week, or any communion service. This arrangement is transposed up a whole step from the original. Arrangements for Brass Quartet (S0.1027769) and Woodwind Quintet (S0.1000643) are also available, although in the original key. For more information and music visit www.jubalslyre.com.
