Erstanden Ist Der Heil'ge Christ, BWV 628 Click to Listen [1:24]
Upward (and downward) surging scale passages join with upward (and downward) skips of a fourth (or fifth) create a satisfying swirl. Arranged for Woodwinds and Cello with Pizzicato Bass.

I'd prefer getting power from solar or wind, but right now I'm saving up for the dirty old electric bill. Help with that by donating; it will help me to continue offering music for your enjoyment.

Chorale Text
German:
Erstanden ist der heil'ge Christ,
Halleluja! Halleluja!
Der aller Welt ein Tröster ist,
Halleluja! Halleluja!

English:
The blessed Christ is ris'n today,
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Of all mankind to be the stay.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
