Product Description

SATB choir; soprano saxophone; ca. 5 min.

The composer writes: The author of the poem O Magnum Mysterium is unknown. Originally the text for a Gregorian chant, it was later used in polyphonic motets of the 16th century and many settings have been composed since then. Perhaps the enduring appeal of the poem is based on its simple depiction of Christs humanity and humility, together with its expression of devotion to his mother, Mary.
 
In composing my own setting, it pleased me to think of the choir as representing the worldly creatures (people and animals) present at Jesuss birth; and the saxophone as an otherworldly, mystical presence hovering above. Its a fanciful notion, but I found it inspiring.
