Ethan McGrath There is no rose of such virtue: For in this rose contained was Heaven and earth in little space, for SATB, with divisions, unaccompanied. Ethan McGrath's setting of this well-known fourteenth-century macaronic text is expressive and rich, both harmonically and emotionally. The melodies have a chant-like quality and the metrical changes create a compelling ebb and flow. This carol is evocative of an ancient choral tradition, while at the same time offering a fresh choral sound.
