| Comments: | This song began as a hymn to the Virgin Mary and has become a traditional wedding song, typically sung by the men to the bride at a wedding party. Most of the arrangements are TTB or TTBB. I heard the American women's choral group, Kitka, sing an SAA arrangement. My SATB arrangement blends what I have heard from Kitka and others and includes a tenor descant. Here is an approximate translation of the text - "You are a vineyard, newly in bloom "The blessed root arising from Eden "A fragrant poplar, growing in paradise "Whom God has blessed. "You are a brilliant sun." |
