Dem auferstandenen Jesus by Hans Georg Nägeli — Lyrics
Auferstanden ist der Herr!
Nun behält der Tod nicht mehr
ihn ans Grab gebunden.
Gottes Macht hat's vollbracht,
Christ hat überwunden.
Gottes Macht hat's vollbracht,
auferstanden ist der Herr!
Seinem Gott hat er vertraut,
hoffnungsvoll auf den geschaut,
der im Himmel waltet,
und das Leid ward in Freud'

About Dem auferstandenen Jesus
This SATB setting of a German sacred text opens with a joyful, declamatory fanfare, quickly establishing the triumphant mood of the Resurrection. The composer uses the voices in block chords for much of the piece, creating a powerful and direct expression of the text's message. The text speaks of Christ's victory over death and the hope and salvation it brings to all of Christendom. The music builds towards a resounding conclusion, reflecting the celebration and exultation inherent in the Easter message. It is a robust and uplifting anthem for a choir looking to convey the profound significance of the Resurrection.
