"Scheidt Christ lag in Todesbanden" is a chorale prelude for organ based on the hymn tune "Christ lag in Todesbanden," which was written by Martin Luther in 1524. The prelude was composed by Samuel Scheidt, a German Baroque composer and organist, in the early 17th century.

The hymn "Christ lag in Todesbanden" is a well-known Lutheran Easter hymn, and its text and melody have been used in many works of sacred music throughout the centuries. Scheidt's prelude is a virtuosic and expressive work that explores the rich harmonies and intricate textures of the hymn tune.

The title "Scheidt Christ lag in Todesbanden" is often translated as "Scheidt's Christ Lay in Death's Bonds." The piece is sometimes referred to as a "Cantio Sacra," which is a term that was used in the 17th century to describe a type of sacred vocal or instrumental music.

Overall, "Scheidt Christ lag in Todesbanden" is a beautiful and powerful work of sacred music that continues to be admired and performed by organists and music lovers around the world.

The organ part remains the same as available printed versions of the score in IMSLP , so you can use your own organ part if desired. There is an additional optional tuba part.
