Product Description
This interpretation is based on my arrangement for 2 guitars based on the harmonisation by M. Praetorius.
( https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/21878939?aff_id=175705 )
The tune is known by the original title Es ist ein Ros entsprungen and also, in English speaking countries by the titles "A great and mighty wonder" and "Lo how a rose e'er blooming".
The performers here (Noah Pylvainen and John Stewart at the Laestadian Lutheran Church) used my arrangement keeping the harmonies with various interpretations in addition to the written version (soloing out and sometimes playing complete chords instead of the arpeggiatos).
Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
Aus einer Wurzel zart.
Wie uns die Alten sungen,
Aus Jesse kam die Art
Und hat ein Blümlein bracht,
Mitten im kalten Winter,
Wohl zu der halben Nacht.
Das Röslein das ich meine,
Davon Jesaias sagt:
Maria ists, die Reine,
Die uns das Blümlein bracht:
Aus Gottes ewigem Rat
Hat sie ein Kindlein gboren
Bleibend ein reine Magd
Lo, how a rose eer blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesses lineage coming,
As men of old have sung.
It came, a flowret bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half-spent was the night.
Isaiah twas foretold it,
The rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it.
The Virgin mother kind.
To show Gods love aright
She bore to them a Savior,
When half-spent was the night.
