This lively cantata is one of comparatively few Easter works from the Baroque era, relative to the many Passion and Christmas works from that era. This edition provides Buxtehude’s Latin text and in places alternative Latin phrases from the source material. The prosodic English translation preserves the stress patterns and rhymes of the original text.
This arrangement provides the option of performing the instrumental quartet parts and bass continuo on a variety of instruments, thus making the piece available to many different ensembles, including string quartet, woodwind quartet, double reed quartet, clarinet quartet, and many other combinations of string and/or woodwind instruments.
