Скачать или смотреть Christ ist erstanden (Christ is Arisen) - Martin Gaskell

Organ chorale prelude by Martin Gaskell on the famous 12th century South German Osterlied (Easter song) "Christ is erstanden". This Osterlied is probably the most ancient piece of German liturgical music. The music was derived from the earlier Latin Easter sequence "Victimae Paschali Laudes" of Wipo von Burgund (c. 995 - 1046).

GERMAN TEXT::

Christ ist erstanden
Von der Marter alle;
Des solln wir alle froh sein,
Christ will unser Trost sein.
Kyrieleis.

Wär er nicht erstanden,
So wär die Welt vergangen;
seit dass er erstanden ist,
so lobn wir den Vater Jesu Christ'.
Kyrieleis.

Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja!
Des solln wir alle froh sein,
Christ will unser Trost sein.
Kyrieleis.

ENGLISH TEXT:

Christ is arisen
From the grave's dark prison.
We now rejoice with gladness;
Christ will end all sadness.
Lord have mercy.

All our hopes were ended
Had Jesus not ascended
From the grave triumphantly
For this, Lord Jesus, we worship Thee.
Lord have mercy.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
We now rejoice with gladness;
Christ will end all sadness.
Lord have mercy.
