TEXT
There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu;
Alleluia.
​
For in this rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space;
Res miranda.
​
By that rose we may well see
That He is God in persons three;
Pari forma.
​
Now leave we all this worldly mirth
And follow we this joyful birth;
Transeamus.

The only surviving movement of HC Stewart's String Quartet, this is a tantilising glimpse of a work of ingenuity and adventorous harmony. Combining the clear textures and respect for tradition with a free sense of form and rhythm this is a work typical of the composers small but intense output.
