Christ lag in Todesbanden is one of that special group of Lutheran hymns that were set repeatedly during the Renaissance and beyond. An impressive double-choir setting by Samuel Scheldt can be found in the A Due Cori series, no. ADC0057.
Christ is erstanden. However, the two hymns differ in one imporant respect: while Christ is erslanden focuses on the resurrection, Christ lag in Todesbanden starts with the more sombre theme of Christs death-throes, and only gradually introduces the resurrection and the themes of redemption and celebration.
