#361: The Day of Resurrection!
Dec. 8th, 2018 01:29 pmDoes anyone involved have a mysterious or intriguing name?
The music arrangement/adaptation was done by one "X. L. Hartig" in 1833. No first name appears on some quick searches, just "X.L." I think that's pretty neat.
Is this one of the classic Easter songs?
Depends on what you mean. It's not the most common in my experience, but the text is translated from something by John of Damascus in the 700s, so that's kind of classic.
Are there some neat turns of phrase?
Sure. The start of verse three is pretty nice; "Now let the heavn's be joyful, let earth its song begin, the round world keep high triumph and all that dwells therein."
What's the difference between earth and the round world?
I don't know, let's ask John Donne.
