Christians, to the Paschal Victim

I promised two posts ago to talk about arrangements. I've decided to show how this has been done in the church of old, taking the lesser-known Easter hymn Victimæ Paschali Laudes, found in LSB 460 and here.

Here is the original. 
Here is an arrangement from 1100, Christ ist erstanden, LSB 459.
Here is Luther's arrangement, Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands, LSB 458.
Here is Bach's Baroque arrangement of that.
Here is a Romantic (Joaquim António Peres Fontanes) arrangement of Victimae for Organ.
And here is an Impressionistic arrangement of the same and for the same, by Charles Tournemire.
