Es Ist Ein Ros Entsprungen (Lo, How A Rose E'Er Blooming / Det Är En Ros Utsprungen)

'I have embedded this internationally well-known melody in a harmonic room of bells which is rendered by the male voices.To enhance the feeling of two independent entities, the melody and the bell ostinato are performed in different metres.Tension increases in the second verse when the melody is performed in a canon but dissipates at the end of the piece. (Marten Jansson) / Choeur Mixte (SSAATTBB)
