Tune Information

• Name: ES IST EIN' ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN
• Harmonizer: Michael Praetorius (1609)
• Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6
• Key: F Major
• Notes: This setting to the chorale melody ES IST EIN’ ROS’ ENTSPRUNGEN (“Lo How a Rose E’er Blooming”) solidifies its association with Christmas. It also allows a psalm that is otherwise assumed to be loud and boisterous to be rendered in a more contemplative, ethereal, peace-filled way.
