Everything about Victimae Paschali Laudes totally explained
Victimae Paschali Laudes is a
sequence prescribed for the
Roman Catholic Mass of
Easter Sunday. It is usually attributed to the 11th century
Wipo of Burgundy, chaplain to the German Emperor
Conrad II, but has also been attributed to
Notker Balbulus,
Robert II of France, and
Adam of St. Victor.
Victimae Paschali Laudes is one of only four medieval Sequences which were preserved in the
Missale Romanum published in 1570 following the
Council of Trent (1545-63). Before Trent many feasts had their own sequences and about 16 different sequences for Easter were in use.
Victimae Pachali Laudes is one of the few Sequences that's still in liturgical use today. Its text was set to different music by many
Renaissance and
Baroque composers, including
Busnois,
Josquin,
Lassus,
Willaert,
Hans Buchner,
Palestrina,
Byrd,
Perosi, and
Fernando de las Infantas. Lutheran hymns derived from
Victimae Paschali Laudes include
Christ ist erstanden and
Christ lag in Todesbanden.
The tenth verse ("Credendum est...") is nowadays omitted (it isn't found in the 1923
Liber usualis, but the 1917
Catholic Encyclopedia includes it without comment).
