Christus war für uns gehorsam bis zum Tod – Vers vor dem Evangelium am Karfreitag

Max Rädlinger's setting of Christus war für uns gehorsam bis zum Tod is a profound exploration of faith and sacrifice within the sacred choral tradition. Scored for SATB choir, the work is set in German and draws its text from key liturgical moments, particularly the Passion narrative. The selected verses focus on Christ's obedience unto death on the cross, and his subsequent exaltation by God, receiving a name above all names. Rädlinger's composition serves as a powerful musical reflection on these central tenets of Christian belief, offering a moving experience for both choir and listeners during Lent and Holy Week.
