Product Details
Description
A tender shoot is a new setting of the 15th-century German poem, versified by Otto Goldschmidt and translated into English by William Bartholomew in the 19th century. Commissioned by Cathedral Commissions of Wells Cathedral in 2020, the carol utilises expressive harmony to support a memorable tune depicting Christ as the ‘tender shoot’ that sprang from the root of Jesse.
