O Magnum Mysterium Satb A Cappella, Latin

This setting for unaccompanied SATB divisi by Morten Lauridsen, one of America's most loved and most performed living choral composers, is rich in colour, deeply spiritual and intensely moving. It is rated as 'reasonably straightforward' to sing so suitable for the majority of choirs. A Piano part is included in the score for rehearsal purposes only. / Niveau : Facile / Feuillet / Choeur

O magnum mysterium. for high treble solo and SATB unaccompanied Set in four parts, this atmospheric carol unfolds simply, from stillness and silence, in awe and contemplation. The choral writing is punctuated with a high solo voice singing phrases that call to mind fragments of the plainsong chant on the same text, appointed as a Responsary for Christmas Day.
