Score and parts. 10 pages. Gordon Cherry #4819965. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792365). 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 (2 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Trombones & Horn substitute parts for Trombone 1 and Trumpet 2) beautifully captures the intent of the composer. The piece is about 3-4 minutes in length, lyrical and expressive. Musicians have agreed that this is a sublime work of true genius. Traditionally this chorale is performed at Christmas in both Catholic and Protestant traditions, but is beautiful at any time of the year.
