O Magnum Mysterium, Morten Lauridsen. Brass Ensemble

For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium text depicting the birth of the new-born King among the lowly animals and shepherds. This arrangement for symphonic band has been transcribed from the original unaccompanied choral setting. Morten Lauridsen is one of Americas most-loved and most-performed living composers, and this arrangement is rich in colour, deeply spiritual and intensely moving
