Life
Born in Müncheberg, Gesius studied theology between 1578 and 1585 at the Alma Mater Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder). He worked from 1582 as Kantor (church musician) in Müncheberg and from 1587 as teacher and musician at Schloss Muskau (now a World Heritage Site). In 1588, he began to compose a Passion after the Gospel of John in German, a St John Passion for five-part chorus. In spring of 1593, Gesius became Kantor at the Marienkirche, Frankfurt (Oder) and at the same time teacher at the Ratsschule, today the Karl-Liebknecht-Gymnasium. In 1613, he composed a six-part St Matthew Passion in Latin. He died the same year in Frankfurt (Oder) from the plague.[1]
"Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn"
Gesius wrote the melody and first five-part setting for the Easter hymn "Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn" ("This Day in Triumph God the Son") on a text attributed to Kaspar Stolzhagen.[citation needed] The text of originally sixteen stanzas of six lines each repeats "Halleluja, Halleluja" as every third and sixth line.[citation needed] The melody is in 6/4 time and rises on every first mentioning of Halleluja.[2][failed verification] It was published in his Geistliche deutsche Lieder[3][failed verification] (Spiritual German songs) in 1601.[2][4] It appeared in seventeen hymnals.[5][failed verification] In the current[when?] German Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch, it is number 109.[2]
Instrumental and vocal compositions have been based on the hymn, including a cantata by Dieterich Buxtehude, BuxWV 43, which sets the text of the first stanza,[6] and a chorale prelude by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 630), concluding the Easter section of his Orgelbüchlein.[7]
