History and music

Pachelbel composed the motet Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, setting verses 1 to 3 and 9 from Psalm 98 in the translation into German by Martin Luther. He scored it for a double chorus and basso continuo. [1] The two choirs are used antiphonally. [1]

The motet was recorded in 1994 in a collection of motets by Pachelbel, Johann Christoph Bach and Johann Michael Bach by Cantus Cölln, with one voice on a part, conducted by Konrad Junghänel. [1] An edition transposed to B major was published by Carus-Verlag in 2003, edited by Günter Graulich. The duration is given as 4 minutes. [2]
