About Es ist ein Ros Entsprungen
This much-loved German Christmas carol, Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, is set here for SATB choir. The text, dating from the 16th century, describes a rose that has sprung from a tender root, a symbol of Mary and the birth of Christ. It speaks of the pure maiden who, by God's eternal counsel, bore a child in the midst of winter, drawing on prophecies from Isaiah and the lineage of Jesse. Louis Hoofd's arrangement offers a way to present this sacred and familiar melody, capturing the serene and hopeful atmosphere of the nativity.
