- Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag, Op. 65, No. 25
[1:16]
Initial imitation between Soprano and Tenor voices emphasizes the fanfare implicit in the Chorale. Nine-voice chords at the end test the limits of
human hearing.

- Chorale Text
German:
Erschienen ist der herrlich' Tag,
d'ran sich Niemand g'nug freuen mag:
Christ, unser Herr, heut' triumphiert,
all' sen' Feind' ergefangen führt. Alleluia.

On earth has dawned this day of days
Whereon let all men give God praise!
For Christ is risen from the tomb
And on his foes declared just doom. Alleluia!
