This was one of the highlights of my Christmas, uncovering the Latin version of the famous carol, and setting it to the exquisite harmony by Hugo Distler (may the Distler Estate forgive me). Here is our result: Flos de Radice Jesse (Es ist ein Ros entsprungen), Hugo Distler
Richard, we've done the Distler a few times over the years, it IS so exquisite, look forward to yours. Have you tried his "Fuhrwar...Surely by His stripes" for Lent?
