With all respect to John Rutter, THIS is the finest setting of this carol.

Most of you will know this carol in a modernized, minor-key arrangement. Here it is in its authentic modal, irregular metered glory.

I recommend listening to the traditional harmonization of this carol by Praetorius first, as it is the basis for this piece (see previous reply).

Jan Sandström - Det är en ros utsprungen
Siglo de Oro

Here is a decent overview:

If you have never listened to Bulgarian choral music, you are missing some of the most amazing stuff out there. The vowels are quite a bit brighter than Western ears may be used to, but the laser-sharp intonation cuts right through to your soul.

This song sets up a hell of a groove, but you will NOT be ready for the funk to drop in from left field a few minutes in.
