The threads that weave through this entire music program, and indeed that inspired it, are 15 fugues taken from the 95 such works covering the eight church modes written by Pachelbel as preludes to settings of the Marian Magnificat canticle sung at vespers at St. Sebaldus. As scholar Ewald V. Nolte observes, these fugues - most transcribed and arranged here by director Amanda Keesmaat for various combinations of cellos, archlute, and organ - show Pachelbel as a keen, pragmatic, yet sensitive contrapuntist.
