J. S. Bach - Cantata "Christ Lag In Todesbanden" BWV 4 - 6. Hier Ist Das Rechte Osterlamm (6/8)

For first day of easter. Martin Luther, the eight verses of the hymn, 1524 (Wackernagel, III, #15)
First annual cycle (Leipzig 1723-24)

Verse 5 (B)
Here is the spotless Easter lamb,
Whereof God hath commanded;
It is high on the cross's branch
In ardent love now burning;
The blood signeth now our door,
Our faith doth it to death display,
The strangler can now no more harm us.
Hallelujah!

bravo il cantante ma non e' un basso......ma forse un baritono leggerissimo con colori a volte tenorili.......,manca un po' l'autorita' di accento e di colore che richiede questo brano
