Arnold Joseph Monar (1860 - 1911): Es ist ein Ros entsprungen

This is another Christmas chorale setting by the romantic master from Bonn. "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" ("Lo, how a rose e'er blooming") is a traditional Advent hymn that originally appeared in the Speyer Hymnal (printed in Cologne in 1599), and the familiar harmonization was written by German composer Michael Praetorius in 1609. Instrument: Johannus Live III, sample: Sauer - Leipzig.
