We would do this piece as a warm up in my high school marching band and I swear, every time we would play it I had tears pricking my eyes. The recording doesn't do it justice of just how this piece feels live
Barber’s Adagio comes to mind, and some have called it the saddest music. But St. Olaf’s Rose blooms with a reverence unknown to me until now. A lament as deeply red and as sweet as along kiss. Schubert was shattered by Mozart’s G minor Symphony, and in similar vein, this take on Praetorius cracks open the soul, grief and joy at once. The players at prayer on the stage. Imagine the listeners struck silent and applauding with their eyes.
LOVELY, but to me, the pacing is too drawn out. I was hoping the choir would come in, at a faster tempo. The orchestration is splendid, but it tested my patience. Well rendered, but after listening to MANY versions, it put me closely to sleep (which is probably a GOOD thing anyway). 😔❤

Wonderful... talented people.
Gorgeous, truly.

Wow!.. Almost just like an altar call, but with music

Pretty, but don't call it "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming" or allude to Praetorius. Orchestrator intentionally removed the cascading suspensions. Shame.
