Der Tag der ist so freudenreich à 5 by Johannes Eccard — Lyrics
About Der Tag der ist so freudenreich à 5
Johannes Eccard’s joyful setting of this German carol celebrates the Nativity. The text, sung here in five parts (SATTB), proclaims the miraculous birth of Christ from a virgin, Mary, to bring salvation to mankind. The first verse describes the wondrous event and Mary’s divine election, while the second emphasizes the newborn Jesus as a source of comfort to a fallen world, averting eternal damnation. The music, in a clear and accessible style, reflects the profound theological significance and the exultant spirit of the season.
