Find a score sample and order information at http://cschurch.net/en/compositions/choir/o-magnum-mysterium/ A recent wonderful live-performance of my setting of this famous text that has inspired so many composers over The centuries. In my attempt, “O magnum mysterium” returns three times after The first statement, in a similar gesture but each time shifted to a new tonality with even more flats. Thus, The listener gets ever more pulled into this magnificent text until The piece culminates in a jubilant “Alleluia” in C-major, having come full-circle back to very first harmony we heard.  less

The choir had recently given The first South American (and second overall) performance of my “Alleluia! O virga mediatrix”. Along The way I'd been chatting with a choir member about Pope Francis' Argentine heritage – a setting of text from an Argentine translation of The Bible seemed especially fitting. I'm happy to share The sheet music free of charge – please contact me for The PDF. • Facebook: david.basden.9 • New email: deebee123 [at] bigpond.com  less
