General Information

Title: Der Tod ist verschlungen in den Sieg
Composer: Matthias Weckmann

Number of voices: 3vv   Voicing: STB

Genre: SacredUnknown

Language: German
Instruments: String ensemble
Published:

Description: Written for soprano, tenor, bass, two violins, viola da gamba and continuo. The bass part has a very wide range, evidently the bass singer at court was quite flexible, or Weckmann simply wrote a complicated part. The gamba part could be carried by a viola if necessary. The contiuno should be performed on the organ, as Weckmann wrote his pieces for church performance. I have included a very simple realisation of the bass line, and added missing figures from the continuo.

The text is from Corinthians 15, 54-55 and 57.

Tod, wo ist dein Stachel, Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg?
Gott aber sei Dank, der uns den Sieg gegeben hat durch unsern Herren Jesum Christum.

Death is Swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Alleluia.
