Antonio
Maria Pacchioni (5 July 1654 - 15 July 1738) of Modena was a Baroque composer,
known for his polyphonic church music. He studied violin technique with
Giovanni Maria Bononcini and musical composition with Padre A. Bendinelli. He
received holy orders in 1677, which enabled him to become maestro di cappella
of the Duomo of Modena in 1694. His oratorios were among the first to be heard
publicly in Modena (1677, 1678); of surviving compositions, two were on sacred
subjects while a third (1682) concerned the quasi-legendary countess Matilda of
Tuscany. His four-voice a Capella motets In Monte Oliveti and Velum templi have
been recorded.
