I See His Blood Upon the Rose is a piece for unaccompanied TTBB choir with a baritone solo. This piece was commissioned by Dr. Lee Nelson and the Wartburg Ritterchor for the 2012 Christmas with Wartburg celebration. The piece explores the deep connection between the birth and Passion of Jesus Christ. Two chorales, “Lo, How a Rose er Blooming” and “O Sacred Head Now Wounded” weave in and out with newly composed material on a text by Joseph Mary Plunkett to make this a piece suitable for both Christmas and Lenten seasons.
