Es ist ein Ros entsprungen (Lo, How a Rose Eer Blooming" for Brass Quartet (Brahms wrote eleven Organ Chorale Preludes for his opus 122 work. Jay Hilfiger’s arrangement of Es ist ein Ros entsprungen or Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming, for Brass Quartet beautifully captures the intent of the composer. The instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in B-flat and 2 Trombones. Also included are two Horn substitute parts for Trombone 1 and Trumpet 2. The work is about 3-4 minutes in length, lyrical and very expressive. Musicians have agreed that this is a sublime work of true genius. Traditionally the chorale is performed at Christmas in both Catholic and Protestant traditions, but is beautiful at any time of the year. )
