Product Description

Also known as Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen, this German Marian hymn has its origin in the late 1500s. Some credit Melchior Vulpius, a Thuringian church singer and composer (Thuringia, Germany), with its composition. It is believed that it was first printed in 1599. A more widely known setting is that of Michael Praetorius's (also of Thuringia) dated 1609.

This arrangement pays homage to both these early church composers, through canonic treatment, vocal harmony, and the nod to Johannes Brahms and his chorale prelude styling. A wonderful addition to your Christmas repertoire, especially during the early Advent season.

Duration ~ 3:35. An alternate part for Horn in F and bass clef parts for trombone, euphonium, and tuba are included.
