About Christ ist erstanden
This sacred motet by Heinrich Isaac expresses the joy of Christ's resurrection. The German text, based on the Easter sequence Victimae paschali laudes, proclaims that Christ has risen from all suffering and will be our comfort. The motet underscores the profound significance of the resurrection, stating that without it the world would have perished. It celebrates this event with praise to Christ, emphasizing that all should rejoice. Composed for ATTB voices, Isaac's setting is a powerful musical testament to the Easter message of hope and renewal.
