"Christ the Lord Is Risen Today"

In Bastien's book, this hymn has the title "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today," but in The Lutheran Service Book, the text accompanying this tune ("Easter Hymn") is "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" (#457).  The two hymns in LSB that do begin with "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" (#463 and #469) have different tunes.

"Jesus Christ Is Risen Today"

On Easter, I found a couple things to note about "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today," sung to the tune "Easter Hymn."  Here's the third musical phrase:

In the third verse, the text here is "Now above the sky He's king."  The clause "He's king" is sung to the notes D E, so pitchwise, this really is above "the sky," which is sung to the notes G C.

The next line is "Where the angels ever sing," sung to this phrase:

"Sing" is sung with a melisma (A G), and this elongation gives a sense of the duration of "ever."

"Easter Hymn" (TLH #199)

I couldn't play recorder fast enough to double the "alleluia"s in this, so it's just my regular instrumentation.
