Product Description

"Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" is a Christmas carol and most commonly translated into English as "Lo, How a Rose e'er Blooming". The rose in the original German text is a symbolic reference to the Virgin Mary and makes reference to the Old Testament prophecies of Isaiah, which in Christian interpretation foretell the Incarnation of Christ, and to the Tree of Jesse, a traditional symbol of the lineage of Jesus. Because of its prophetic theme, the hymn is popular during the Christian season of Advent. It first appeared in print in 1599 and has since been published with a varying number of verses and in several translations. It is most commonly sung to a melody harmonized by the German composer Michael Praetorius in 1609, upon which this version for band is based, but in some places the harmony modernised and a new descant added to the final (third) verse.
