Lo, How a Rose (with Clarinet Quartet)

To future performers of this piece: This is my favorite Christmas carol.
One of the most beautiful melodies ever written, it has a haunting simplicity
that has left me on the verge of tears more than once. In 2021, I mustered
the courage to write my own arrangement and tried desperately to capture that
spirit. What evolved was something unique--something of which I am immensely
proud. A delicate piano part and rich string writing combine to allow the
choir (or choirs...in the premiere, we performed with a beginner choir on the
melody in the opening and an advanced choir in the round on the harmonies) to
deliver the story in an honest and straight forward presentation. There are
many ways to perform this arrangement. Try it with wind quartet, clarinet choir,
flute ensemble, or whatever instruments you can find. Ask me if you need
transcriptions. Just please send me a recording. I hope that you fall in love with this
ancient German tune and that you find I have done it justice with this
arrangement. Yours, Mark Lehnowsky
