VOCES8: Es ist ein Ros entsprungen

"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.

[@FastEddy396]

I sing baritone and bass. My heart goes out to you and my heart is warm to read of your great love. Best-

[@John-e2f4z]

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.

[@jasonhurd4379]

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. ❤

Listening to this gives me comfort to go on living in this messed up world that is full of such hate, evil and darkness

[@ballsflying]

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

[@HrLBolle]

Amen my friend

[@Londonfogey]

I take comfort in the belief expressed in this song that the King of Kings and only ruler of princes, dwells within each of us, now and always. He is not throned above or in some far beyond, but Immanuel, God with us.

[@brucekuehn4031]

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.

[@christabelle__]

I attended The Citadel: The Military School of South Carolina, and I was in the Protestant choir. Every Christmas, the Protestant and the Catholic choirs would come together to put together a Christmas performance in the campus Chapel. So, our chapel was shaped like a cross - we would form two long lines and file in with candles and white robes, singing this song in English...and it was hard not to cry, even then, it was so beautiful in our little church... but this? This performance broke me. I sobbed, and felt the weight of this past year just slough off my shoulders... and with how hard everything has been lately...I stopped and thought to myself - this song...I'm glad I'm alive to hear *this* song*. There is so much that makes life seem unbearable sometimes, and then it's like the music reaches right out to your soul, as though God himself were easing my burden. Thank you for sharing this - it is my favorite Christmas song still, all these years later, and your performance is so heavenly that I'm still crying as I type this - bravo, everyone.
