- Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BuxWV 188
[7:11] (A=465)
Unmitigatingly cheerful Christmas trio, subtly employing many of Buxtehude's characteristic techniques - chromaticism, triplets, antiphon and
response, which provide distinction with no change in registration: right hand(s) on Hauptwerk - Principal 8' + Qvintadena 8' + Spizfleute 4' + Qvinta
3'; left hand(s) on Hinterwerk - Gedacktes 8' + Rohrfleute 4' + Octava 2' + Qvinta 1 1/2; feet on Pedal: Subbass 16' + Octaven Bass 8'.

German:
Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ,
Dass du Mensch geboren bist,
Von einer Jungfrau, dass ist wahr,
Des freuet sich der Engel Schaar.
Kyrie-eleis.
English:
All praise to Jesus’ hallowed name,
Who of virgin pure became,
True man for us! The angels sing,
As the glad news to earth they bring.
Alleluia.
