Cantata BWV 4: Christ lag in Todes Banden
Johann Sebastian Bach's Cantata No. 4 is a beautiful piece of sacred music that embodies the themes of Easter. Composed in the early 1700s, it celebrates the resurrection of Christ with sublime melodies and intricate harmonies.
This cantata is based on a chorale by Martin Luther and covers a fascinating blend of theologically rich text and amazing musical architecture. It's a journey through powerful choral and orchestral movements that culminates in a triumphant finale.
