Composer: Michael Praetorius, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2; Viola; Cello

Note: Lo How a Rose e’er Blooming is a mainstay of Christmas services and a must-have piece for any gig musician. Pure Natus (A boy is born) is an excellent accompanying piece. Violin 1 parts for both pieces and the violin 2 part for Lo How a Rose work well on flute or oboe.
