Alleluja, fürchtet euch nicht by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Alleluja!
Fürchtet euch nicht,
siehe, ich verkündige euch große Freude,
die allem Volk widerfahren wird;
denn euch ist heut der Heiland geboren,
welcher ist Christus, der Herr in der Stadt David.

About Alleluja, fürchtet euch nicht
This jubilant German sacred setting is perfect for Christmas services. Melchior Franck’s Alleluja, fürchtet euch nicht draws on the familiar Gospel account of the Nativity, proclaiming the joyful news: "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy... for unto you is born this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." The text continues with the angelic Gloria in excelsis Deo, giving thanks for God's glory and peace on earth. Scored for a substantial eight-part choir (SSATTTBB), this piece offers rich harmonic possibilities and a powerful declaration of faith, suitable for a choir looking to make a grand statement of the Christmas message.
