Det är en ros utsprungen - Jan Sandström
Det är en ros utsprungen av Jesse rot och stam. Av fädren ren besjungen,
den står i tiden fram, en blomma skär och blid, mitt i den kalla vinter,
i midnatts mörka tid.
There is a rose that springs up from Jesse’s root and stem. By venerable fathers extolled, that stood in former times, a flower blushing and gentle, amidst the cold winter, in a dark midnight-hour.

This single performance justifies KZbin's existence.

This comment makes all the hard work worth it! Thank you so much!

[@kennethoeth3327]

My choir tried this in undergrad and just could not keep it in tune. this piece should be an Olympic event for stamina. well done!

[@SiglodeOroVocalEnsemble]

Haha thank you Kenneth! We could have done with twice as many singers!

[@beckysaer5648]

Magnificent. It's like a memory of Christmas, trapped in ice. Mystical, impeccably sung, perfectly arranged. Absolutely wonderful.

[@SiglodeOroVocalEnsemble]

[@lovisalanryd4018]

As a swede and choir singer I must say that this is wonderful! It brings me the same feeling of sincerity and calmness as in the dark and cold mornings at church in december when this piece is usually preformed here in Sweden. Also great work with the pronunciation!

[@SiglodeOroVocalEnsemble]

Thank you so much for this very kind comment! We really appreciate it!

[@bob90th]

First heard this piece eight or nine years ago, Christmas, King's College radio broadcast. Galvanized. This is the best performance on KZbin. The overtones, the way the sound rings in the space. Haunting. It's a door into another world.

[@SiglodeOroVocalEnsemble]

Thank you Bob!

[@albertnortononymous9020]

Yeah, the piece calls for humming from the choir but these guys used a neutral vowel that allowed a lot more overtone production.

[@philipthomey7884]

( The Overtones is also an Irish acapella group you may like)

[@buttclef]

This is my go to recording. Such a gift. This quality of music is, at least for me, what a musical "offering" is made of. I can feel my heart open up. Thank you!

[@briyzzie3309]

Beautiful. It was beautiful. The singers were beautiful, their voices were beautiful, their choral art was beautiful. “Music forecasts the past, recalls the future. Now and then the difference falls away, and in one simple gift of circling sound, the ear solves the scrambled cryptogram. One abiding rhythm, present and always, and you're free.” - Richard Powers

[@SiglodeOroVocalEnsemble]

Thank you!

[@SiglodeOroVocalEnsemble]

Beautiful comment, thank you!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

One of the best interpretations of this arrangement by the swede Jan Sandström, if not the best? If the choirs pronounciation of this swedish text isn´t perfect has less importance, we all know the lyrics. Such a harmony and beautiful sound among these singers! Och God Jul! som vi säger på svenska.

Just such an absolutely glorious deconstruction of an already beautiful carol. As a bit of composer myself, I can't help but appreciate the harmonics engaged. A work of genius, and that's before we get to the fantastic performance. First time I heard this was by twelve former members of our National Youth Choir, who were stood in a circle around the audience in a large auditorium. Just stunning. I think I wept.

[@albertnortononymous9020]

Tonally, it’s very easy-the hardest part is holding out those phrases for so long. Short random breaths have to be taken, and the fewer singers you have, the harder it is to hide it. It’s quite a daunting task for the choir 1 part (the hymn) to be performed by a quartet.

I was near there - I moved from the Cecil Sharp House CC and was fortunate in finding Patrick leading a local choir, at this time. It wasn't to last, Siglo needed more time, but it did long enough for me to well outgrow the locals. I now sing with Polyphony Down The Pub. Which does the same. With character.

Well done Poppy and Josh!

Astoundingly beautyful! I first heard this piece (or rather this arrangment) in a church in Stockholm an was immediately struck by it's genius. At that occasion the singers were spread out in the church which together with the accoustics really surrounded everyone in the audience. This performance is even better and I am so glad to hear it again!

[@SiglodeOroVocalEnsemble]

Wow that sounds like a great way to perform and listen to this piece! What was the name of the church? We love this arrangement - we're so pleased you have enjoyed our performance.

Just to clarify, I meant that your performance is superior, in case it came across the other way! :-) The concert I attended was held in Jakobs (Saint James's) Church. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_James%27s_Church,_Stockholm The singers stood in the isles, and it was very, very effective.
