Of a Rose, a lovely Rose Monteverdichor Würzburg Thüringer Symphoniker Saalfeld-Rudolstadt Matthias Beckert (cond.) Live recording from december 4th, 2011 in the Neubaukirche, Würzburg, Germany. Of a Rose, a lovely Rose, Of a Rose is all my song. Hearken to me, both old and young, How this Rose began to spring; A fairer rose to mine liking In all this world ne know I none. Five branches of that rose there been, The which be both fair and sheen; The rose is called Mary, heaven's queen. Out of her bosom a blossom sprang. The first branch was of great honour: That blest Marie should bear the flow'r; There came an angel from heaven's tower To break the devil's bond. The second branch was great of might, That sprang upon Christmas night; The star shone over Bethlem bright, That man should see it both day and night. The third branch did spring and spread; Three kinges then the branch gan led Unto Our Lady in her child-bed; Into Bet...    less

The work, called Poohratorio of course, is due to be published once AA Milne goes into public domain (2031).  less
