Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

This is a new and fresh gospel transformation of the ancient German Christmas carol. The rhythm is changed to 3/4 throughout, the melody is adorned with passing tones that create graceful arcs, and the piano accompaniment is filled with gospel-style rhythmic and harmonic gestures. The saxophone accompaniment adds a jazzy feel, and the saxophone solo in the middle takes this arrangement to a whole new level. Extraordinary writing - highly recommended!
