Ethan McGrath's There Is No Rose Of Such Virtue for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied. This setting of this well-known fourteenth-century macaronic text is expressive and rich both harmonically and emotionally. The melodies have a chant-like quality and the metrical changes create a compelling ebb and flow. This carol is evocative of an ancient choral tradition while at the same time offering a fresh choral sound.
