Alleluia!
A spotless Rose is blowing,
Sprung from a tender root,
Of ancient seers' foreshowing,
Of Jesse promis'd fruit;
Its fairest bud unfolds to light
Amid the cold, cold winter,
And in the dark midnight.
The Rose which I am singing,
Whereof Isaiah said,
Is from its sweet root springing
In Mary, purest Maid;
For through our God's great love and might
The Blessed Babe she bare us
In a cold, cold winter's night.
Alleluia!
Text: German hymn, 'Es ist ein Ros entsprungen', first printed 1599, translated by Catherine Winkworth (1827-78)

A Beautiful Voice 😇
That was simply stunning - must admit we weren't quite as good as that in 1964! Happy Christmas😊
Thank you!
Beautiful singing, thank you and Happy Christmas to all Karen
Thank you! Happy Christmas!
Thank you for sharing this breathtakingly beautiful and haunting piece. A huge well done to all concerned not least Simon! Certainly the chapel choir has come on in leaps and bounds since the late 1980s when I was in it - we'd never have been able to sing anything at this level!
Thank you!
Conducting this on Saturday for Christmas Eve service.
Beautiful piece.
Hope it goes well! Have a Happy Christmas!
I matriculated 2001 at Peterhouse (this isn't my real name) and I'm singing this tomorrow night... In Norwegian. Help.
Good luck! "Det hev ei rose sprunge ut av ei rot så grann..."! We've another video to put up soon from the same recording session of us singing in Swedish -- so keep an eye out for that one too! Happy Christmas!
