O Magnum Mysterium For Satb Chorus, A Cappella by Morten Lauridsen 4-Part - Sheet Music

By Morten Lauridsen

O Magnum Mysterium, commissioned by Marshall Rutter in honor of his wife, Terry Knowles, has had several thousand performances throughout the world and dozens of recordings since its 1994 premiere by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. I have also arranged the work for solo voice and piano or organ (recorded on Northwest Journey by Jane Thorngren accompanied by the composer), men's chorus and brass ensemble; H. Robert Reynold's stunning adaptation for symphonic winds was recently premiered in Minneapolis by the Thornton Wind Symphony. For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium text depicting the birth of the new-born King amongst the lowly animals and shepherds. This affirmation of God's grace to the meek and the adoration of the Blessed Virgin are celebrated in my setting through a quiet song of profound inner joy. – Morten Lauridsen

Melodic music

Perfect four part for choirs. Difficult to sustain the note and legato but played a little faster should resolve the issue. It was sheet music so why would I need to comment on its form ?? Also I abhor with a vengeance Twitter and Facebook so no Why should I post about receiving a sheet music which I requested because I love the piece. Unless, of course, somehow you expected that the music could be replaced with some random item ?
