Any discussion of the German oratorio tradition during the first half of the 19th century will include the name of Friedrich Schneider, the court Kapellmeister of Anhalt-Dessau, although usually focusing on \u003ci\u003eDas Weltgericht (The Last Judgment)\u003c\/i\u003e, his second contribution to the genre and one of the most frequently performed oratorios of the early 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fixation on Das Weltgericht is paradigmatic for the consolidation of the concert business as well as for musicological research practice concentrating on individual works at the expense of a rich and rewarding oratorio oeuvre. In the case of Schneider's musical output, this inclination was so severe that he was colloquially known as the 'Weltgericht-Schneider'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis oratorio \u003ci\u003eChristus das Kind\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been recorded here for the first time, was not nearly as well known as \u003ci\u003eDas Weltgericht\u003c\/i\u003e during Schneider's lifetime; it forms the beginning of a cycle of four full-length oratorios about the life of Jesus, which was a novelty at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristus das Kind \u003c\/i\u003ecomprises three unspecified parts that can be summarized with the following titles: 1.
