Christus resurgens by John Byrchley — Lyrics
Christus resurgens ex mortuis, jam non moritur, mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel, quod autem vivit, vivit Deo,
Alleluia.
Mortuus est enim propter delicta nostra: et resurrexit propter justificationem nostram,
Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo,
Alleluia.

About Christus resurgens
John Byrchley's Christus resurgens is a powerful setting of a Latin text for two-part male voices. Drawing on the rich tradition of sacred antiphonal music, this piece explores the profound theme of Christ's resurrection. The text, proclaiming Christ's triumph over death and sin, is brought to life with a text that movingly describes his sacrifice and victorious return. The composition features a direct and compelling setting of the words, emphasizing their theological significance. It is a work that resonates with the ancient liturgical tradition, offering a profound musical reflection on one of Christianity's most central tenets.
