New virtual content: Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
For our first virtual offering, we have chosen Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, one of our favorite seasonal hymns. The melody and German text, preserved in a 16th-century manuscript, were brought to life in this four-part harmonization by Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). A standard in many Christmas carol books, this work is perhaps better known by its English title, Lo, how a rose e'er blooming.
