Can anyone tell me (definitively & quickly – as it relates to a Christmas eve gig) the key of the Brahms/pub. Robert King brass quintet setting of Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen (Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming)?

Many thanks

Beautiful; answered in 3 minutes from original posting. Tremendous thanks :!:

Had to know key as the organist wants to segue from his playing of the Praetorius setting and then brass playing Brahms. He wanted to make sure keys were "friendly."

Ah, just saw the edit, Mr E-phant. (Thanks for the heads up; Mr King's "tuba only if sufficient other instruments" doesn't impress me much. By default, I grab the baritone parts for tuba! :wink: )
