Christ ist erstanden a 8. Jörgen Presten. A cappella. Sacred , Motet. Language. German. SSSATTBB.

Original

This "unicum" has been transcribed from the København manuscript KB 1872. The manuscript, 7 partbooks of 8, was copied by the chief of the royal Dutch band, the German trumpeter Jørgen Heyde, for the use of the band instrumentalists and, while almost all the pieces are vocal, there are very few texts. The two upper voices have the song melody in canon while the other voices are in free counterpoint, the lyrics underlay is mine.
