    "Es ist mein Ros ensprungen" was my dear grandpa's favourite carol. The best part of each christmas holiday, no, the best part of the whole year, was when the whole family gathered around the burning candles and sang the traditional 4-voices version of Praetorius. My mother, my sister and me used to sing soprano, my aunt and grandma alto, my unle and dad tenor and my grandpa was the bass. And what a voice my grandpa had, deep and mellow! His singing filled the whole room, and so did his warmth. In 2019 he died and there is no one left to sing the bass. Every time we sing this song we can hear and feel how he is missing. But still I'll never stop loving and finding comfort in this tune. Thank you, Voces8 and team, to bring it to such perfection.

      When you sing it together this year, if you really listen hard, with your heart, you will hear him and his beautiful bass voice. Singing together builds a unity which can transcend that barrier we call death. I know. It has happened to me.

      Preatorius lived in the sxteenth century, an 80 year holy war had Europe in it’s grip. Armies traveled around the countryside plundering, cities were beseiged and starved untill they surrendered, people were burned alive at the stake for their religious convictions. It seems a little more civilized at present, but as we know after two world wars humans are a destructive species. Music like preatorius his remarkable work can give us some comfort in times of despair

    I was raised in an atheist household, where inquiries into faith and supernatural grace were openly mocked and discouraged. I first heard this carol at the age of thirteen on a Christmas LP (yes, I am THAT old) my mother had bought. I listened to the words, and was intrigued by the mysterious and steadfast faith expressed therein. Thus began a journey that culminated in my baptism and confirmation in the Catholic Church, a full twenty years later. I will forever be grateful for the happy accident of hearing this carol that started me on that journey. ❤

    So, how old? No one is sure, but the tune most familiar today originally appeared in the Speyer Hymnal (printed in Cologne in 1599), and the familiar harmonization was written by German composer Michael Praetorius in 1609.
    Let’s just say, over 400 years of soothing souls at this time of year.

He smiled back and said "i know". The last time i cried was at his funeral nearly 8 years ago,and today ,hearing this song again!

    Hearing this in June 2020 makes me wonder whether I will ever have another happy Christmas in this life. O Jesu, bis zum Scheiden aus diesem Jammertal
    Laß Dein hilf uns geleiten Hin in den Freudensaal.

      Christmas is all about being born and we can be born every day, even every minute if we don't let the outside world pollute ourselves with hate, indifference and pursuit of power.

      @@Lampenmensch Die Akzeptanz Deiner oder irgendjemands Meinung zur nicht ganz einwandfreien Aussprache eines deutschen Liedtextes durch englischsprachige Sänger und Sängerinnen stand für mich gar nicht zur Debatte..
      Meine sarkastische Bemerkung zu Deinem Kommentar sollte lediglich hervorheben, dass ich keinen Sinn darin erkennen kann, eine in allen Aspekten professionelle, leb- und dadurch zauberhafte Interpretation zu bemängeln.
      Wenn die Künstler eines produktiven Feedbacks bedurft hätten, hätten sie vermutlich ihre ehemaligen Gesangsprofessor*innen oder einander befragt. Vielleicht hätten sie auch im Video bzw. in der Kommentarspalte explizit darum gebeten. Da sie dies nicht getan haben, schätze und ehre ich schlichtweg den altruistischen Akt ihrerseits, diese schöne Performance mit uns zu teilen.
      Offensichtlich hast Du da andere Ansprüche. Mir bereitet es einfach mehr Freude, jenes zu loben, was mir gefällt und dadurch die Interpreten in ihrem Schaffen und ihrer Entwicklung zu bestärken, als das zu tadeln, was zur Perfektion noch fehlt.

    To translate lyris is ever difficult. A text from the 16th century even more so. I would say many German native speakers have difficulties to grasp all subtlies of these wonderful verses, which are sung so beautifully by Voces 8
