Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ by Michael Praetorius — Lyrics
About Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ
The German words express joyful praise for the birth of Jesus Christ, a central theme of Christmas. The text rejoices that Christ, the Son of the eternal Father, has become human and is found in the manger, bringing light and hope to the world. Michael Praetorius sets this traditional text for two-part choir (TB). The music, rooted in the sacred Christmas tradition, offers a setting that would suit a festive occasion.
