zum Osterfest Christ lag in Todes Banden
TVWV 9:3 (1720)
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.
