In dulci jubilo by Johannes Eccard — Lyrics
1.
In dulci jubilo,
Nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzens Wonne liegt
in praesepio,
Und leuchtet als die Sonne
Matris in gremio,
Alpha es et O!
2.
O Jesu parvule
Nach dir ist mir so weh!
Tröst' mir mein Gemüte
O puer optime
Durch alle deine Güte
O princeps gloriae.
Trahe me post te!

About In dulci jubilo
Johannes Eccard's setting of In dulci jubilo offers a rich SATTB texture, a joyful and devotional exploration of this familiar Christmas carol. The music reflects the text's exultation, weaving together the Latin verses celebrating Christ's birth with German reflections on His divine love and our salvation. Eccard's masterful counterpoint and harmonic language create a celebratory yet profoundly sacred atmosphere, perfectly suited for the Christmas season. The polyphony enhances the textual contrast, moving from the serene imagery of the manger to the joyous acclamations of the angels. This piece is a vibrant testament to the enduring power of this medieval melody and its message of hope and divine grace.
