In dulci jubilo, WoO VI/13, No. 3 by Max Reger — 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, WoO VI/13, No. 3
This arrangement of the familiar Christmas carol In dulci jubilo offers a rich setting for SSATBB choir. The German text, rooted in a medieval Latin original, expresses the joy and wonder of Christ's birth, celebrating him as the 'heart's delight' and the light of the world. Reger masterfully weaves the themes of divine love and human salvation, moving from the tender scene in the manger to the ultimate redemption won through Christ's sacrifice. The music evokes the celestial praise of angels and the heartfelt longing for heavenly joy, creating a profound and moving Christmas offering.
