Der von dem Gsatz gefreiet war by Adam Gumpelzhaimer — Lyrics
About Der von dem Gsatz gefreiet war
Adam Gumpelzhaimer, a composer of German sacred music, created this hymn for a treble duet (SST). The text explores the liberation from the law through Christ. It states that those freed from the law and sin are nonetheless subject to human frailty. The composer’s setting of the German lyrics emphasizes that Christ’s sacrifice grants freedom from the law, but this does not grant license to sin. The music would be suitable for services or study where the themes of Christian freedom and responsibility are explored.
