About Christ ist erstanden
This setting of Christ ist erstanden by Heinrich Finck is ideal for Eastertide, based as it is on the famous Easter sequence Victimae paschali laudes. The German text, sung here in five parts (SAATB), proclaims Christ's resurrection and the ensuing joy, emphasizing that he will be our comfort. The composer explores the rejoicing text, with the final Alleluja section bringing a jubilant conclusion. This is a profound and uplifting motet, perfectly suited to the Easter season, celebrating the central event of the Christian faith with sincere devotion and musical warmth.
