Victimae paschali laudes
General Information
Author: Wipo of Burgundy.
The Easter sequence, attributed to Wipo of Burgundy (died c.1048), is sung at Mass on Easter Sunday and through its Octave, as well as incorporated into medieval religious dramas performed at Easter. The verse 5a (Credendum est magis soli) has been omitted since the publication of the 1570 Missal following the Council of Trent. Luther's chorales Christ lag in Todesbanden and Christ ist erstanden both show melodic similarities.
