Christ ist erstanden by Paul Fehrmann — Lyrics
This is not the traditional text.
Christ ist erstanden!
schallt es in den Lüften,
Christ ist erstnden!
hallt es in den Grüften,
Lauernde Feinde zittert und bebt!
Trauernde Freunde glaubet und lebt!
Christ ist erstanden!
Engel bedeutens weinenden Frauen,
Jünger verbreiten's rings in den Gauen,

About Christ ist erstanden
This setting of Christ ist erstanden bursts with the triumphant news of the resurrection. The text describes the message echoing through the heavens and the graves, bringing both fear to enemies and life to friends. It paints a scene where angels announce the news to the women, disciples spread it, and its powerful sound awakens nations. The music vividly portrays the open heavens and reconciled earth, crowning faith and hope, in a radiant eight-part setting for SSAATBB voices.
