Da der Herr Christ zu Tische sass (Chorale)

This chorale setting by Johann Sebastian Bach is ideal for services around Eastertide. The German text, sung by SATB choir, describes Christ at the table during the Last Supper, eating the Paschal Lamb and preparing to depart. He entrusts his disciples with the command to proclaim his death and bitter suffering. Bach’s setting of this devotional text, likely for congregational singing, offers a profound reflection on the institution of the Eucharist and the solemnity of Christ's sacrifice. Its sacred nature and clear message make it a fitting choice for reflection and remembrance.
