O Magnum Mysterium

Morten Lauridsen (b. 1943)

Arranged by H. Robert Reynolds

Wind Ensemble
Lieutenant Commander Stephen J. Trzcinski, conductor

A long-time faculty member at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music, Morten Lauridsen founded the school’s advanced studies program in scoring for motion pictures and television. He is best known for his art songs and choral works, the most well-known being O Magnum Mysterium. Lauridsen writes:

"For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium text with its depiction of 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."

H. Robert Reynolds wrote this setting for wind band while serving as Director of University Bands at the University of Michigan School of Music.
