zum Osterfest Christ lag in Todes Banden
Telemann's Missa brevis on the Easter chorale "Christ lag in Todes Banden" is one of his eleven surviving Latin Missae breves based on church hymns. The motet-like composition calls for a mixed choir accompanied by a basso continuo, reinforced by colla-parte instruments. However, the mass can also be performed solely with an organ accompaniment.
