Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

This traditional German carol with roots prior to the 17 century has endured as a Christmas favorite in the 20th and 21st centuries, even covered by artists such at Mannheim Steamroller and Linda Ronstat. This arrangement takes the form a choral prelude, opening with a simple, elegant statement of the theme, followed by two verses featuring breath-taking trumpet and tuba obligatos, and culminating with the familiar Praetorious harmonization in a chorale-like finale.
