Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was a German composer, organist, and teacher who brought the south German organ tradition to its peak. He composed a large body of sacred and secular music, and his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque era.
Choral Prelude "Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder" (Ah Lord, poor sinner that I am); the famous choral is developed in a dense melodic counterpoint.
