Description: Originally composed as „Chor der Jünglinge“ (Text: "See the conqu’ring hero comes") in the 3rd movement of the Oratoriums Josua, Händel later inserted this choir also into "Judas Maccabäus".
Around 1820, Johann Joachim Eschenburg (other sources attribute it to Friedrich Heinrich Ranke) added the text "Tochter Zion, freue dich" and turned the song into an advent carol. Currently, it belongs to the most well-known and most often sung christmas songs in the German-speaking countries.
