Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), a German composer and organist, received much recognition during his lifetime. The early years of his private life were also extremely successful: he married a beautiful woman, the daughter of the mayor of Erfurt, and they had a son. However, shortly afterwards, his wife and son died of plague. Pachelbel’s first published collection of works was titled Musicalische Sterbens-Gedanken (Musical Thoughts on Death). All of his compositions from that point onwards were meditations on overcoming death. Step by step, through this music, we come to understand that death is not the end, nor a transition into non-existence. On the contrary, it is an entrance into a realm where there are no temporary phenomena subject to suffering and decay, no parting, and no fear – a space where nothing obscures the light.
