Victimae paschali laudes is a sequence prescribed for the Roman Catholic Mass and liturgical Protestant Eucharists 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 five medieval sequences that were preserved in the Missale Romanum published in 1570 after the Council of Trent (1545-63). The four others were the "Veni Sancte Spiritus" (for the feast of Pentecost), "Lauda Sion" (for Corpus Christi), the "Stabat Mater" (for Stations of the Cross), and the "Dies Irae" (for the Requiem Mass). Before Trent, many other feasts also had their own sequences,[1] and some 16 different sequences for Easter were in use.[2]
Victimae Paschali Laudes is one of the few sequences that are 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 chorales derived from Victimae Paschali Laudes include Christ ist erstanden and Christ lag in Todesbanden.
The section beginning "Credendum est," with its pejorative reference to the Jews, is nowadays omitted (it is not found in the 1923 Liber usualis).
