Surrexit Christus, Alleuia! CWB II 365

OK, this is another good song in CWB II that I haven’t come across before in their songs for Easter, so I should cease my complaining.

This is a Taize song by Jacques Berthier where the assembly sings “Surrexit Christus” and “Cantate Domino” instead of “Christ is Risen” and “Sing to the Lord” because they may sing the verses in many possible languages and they can all sing Latin together.

The cantor sings the verses in their own language, while the assembly hums. Cantus Mundo has the English text.

It is available in this collection from GIA.

CWB II gave me chords for a change so making a BIAB backing was a bit easier this time. It’s meant to be lively.

This isn’t in English.
