Der Engel bringt wahren Bericht by Melchior Vulpius — Lyrics
Der Engel bringt wahren Bericht,
Laßt fahren all' Menschengedicht,
in diesen Weihnachtstagen.
Lernet von der himmlischen Schar,
singen ein fröhlich's Neues Jahr

About Der Engel bringt wahren Bericht
Sung at Christmas, this German sacred piece by Melchior Vulpius is for SSATB choir. The text, setting out the angel's true tidings, urges listeners to learn from the heavenly host and sing a joyful new year. It echoes the traditional Christmas message of peace on earth and goodwill to all, concluding with a solemn Amen. Vulpius's setting would suit a church choir looking for a substantial and festive work to mark the season, offering a rich five-part texture to convey the importance of the angel's announcement.
