A pie della gran croce, for soprano
Angelus ad pastores, for 3 voices and continuo

The Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583–1643) wrote music during the late Renaissance era and Baroque period. The following list of compositions is organized thematically, and within sections entries are arranged chronologically. Although some of the collections were published more than once, only dates of first editions are given. The numbers (preceded by F) that follow the compositions refer to the Frescobaldi Thematic Catalogue Online (FTCO).

Arie musicali per cantarsi, primo libro, for 1-3 voices and continuo, C.5

This is a list of chaconnes composed in the 17th century. Included are all pieces of 17th-century music, or clearly marked off sections of pieces, labeled "chaconne" (or some variant of that word) by their composers, that have been found by contributors to this article among the works of musicians, musicologists, and music historians. A few pieces not labeled "chaconne" by their composers, when they have been clearly identified as chaconnes by later commentators, have also been included. A definitive list would be impossible to make, because there was in the 17th century, and there remains today, disagreement about the defining characteristics of a chaconne. That subject is treated in the article Chaconne. Jump to decade:
