Als die Welt verloren by Christoph Koscielny — Lyrics
Gdy się Chrystus rodzi
i na świat przychodzi,
Ciemna noc w jasnościach
promienistych brodzi.
Aniołowie się radują,
Pod niebiosa wyśpiewują:
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
in excelsis Deo!

About Als die Welt verloren
This festive SATB setting of Als die Welt verloren captures the joy of Christmas night when Christ was born. The text, sung in a blend of Polish and German, recounts the angelic announcement to the shepherds, heralding the arrival of the Savior. The music reflects the radiant light that broke through the darkness and the jubilant song of the heavenly hosts proclaiming "Gloria in excelsis Deo". It is a vibrant and uplifting piece for a Christmas service or concert, suitable for choirs looking to programme a work that combines devotional text with a celebratory spirit.
