Christ ist erstanden

The German words celebrate Christ's resurrection, a joyous occasion that brought salvation to the world. The text emphasizes that if Christ had not risen, the world would have perished, but his resurrection means we can praise him. Sethus Calvisius sets this powerful Easter hymn for STTB choir. The music would suit any occasion where the triumphant message of Easter is to be proclaimed, offering a robust and fulfilling experience for both singers and listeners. The direct and heartfelt text, combined with the solid four-part writing, makes this a fitting choice for sacred settings.
