O Magnum Mysterium By Morten Lauridsen (trans. H. Robert Reynolds)

amazing oboe

[ItachiUchiha2010]

A wonderful rendition, I am personally drawn to the original theres more feeling in choral music, but I can feel the emotion of the players in this performance. This is why I am a music ed major, to give young people the ability to let all their emotions out through music.

Shoulda heard the USC Thornton Wind Symphony perform this yesterday, with Lauridson present to comment on the work prior to the performance.. Now, THAT was a performance/!

[Cona1026]

My band played this my senior year, i had the euphonium solo at the end, for me this song was the best song we ever did my highschool career, the only song to bring tears to my eyes while playing it... so beautiful.

[tommyspittle]

@Cona1026 you too? lol. i am a euph player too and i was the same way when i played it in this band. the best band i have ever been in by far and definitely one of the most touching and beautiful songs ever. thank you for your props to this magnificent band i was so graciously a part of!

[deutschlandlieben]

I was at this clinic. Those horns are absolutely incredible.

[kville105125]

i love this piece. played it with the Honor Band of America under the baton of H. Robert Reynolds himself. It was incredible. Great recording! Very emotional.

[McDrummerSLR]

played it my sophomore year and playing it again this year with a group outside of school that makes it sound absolutely gorgeous, i love this piece :)

[fiddlinmatt]

sang this before. Good idea to do it for band. Great rendition!

[MichaelMonferno]

im not gonna lie THIS IS BORING

im a junior and i play it for seniors and there graduation

[iitmustang]

Also played this my senior year of high school, it was one of my favorite pieces I've ever played...............brings back memories

[ivancopperfield]

Stellar performance, especially for a high school band. This may sound easy to play, but can be difficullt if the band does not listen and play as one. I also play clarinet and tenor sax and majored in music ed. for 2 years, but switched to Csc. I have a large collection of symphonic band recordings (458) you might like. The link is on my page. Best of luck to you.

[marvinthetoaster]

BEAUTIFUL. I played this my senior year in high school and definitely experienced something amazing.

[oldschooldrumcorps]

outstanding! very talented group of young people. Thank you all for your inspiring and beautiful playing. you guys did justice to Lauridsen's masterpiece. Thanks again

[cfieldclarinet93]

Thanks!!!

[Bbobe900000]

MY GOD.

This is absolutely incredible. You can tell when it is an emotional performance, this is far more emotional than any recording of this I've heard. Heck, comparable to professional recordings. Bravo. It must have been quite an amazing experience.

[cfieldclarinet93]

The MOST emotional experience I've EVER experienced playing....definately. This experience is what made up my mind of majoring in Music in college. (which I think I'm going to be Music Education major)

[marvinthetoaster]

@cfieldclarinet93 That is amazing.

[maxemo111]

Just beautiful. Is this a highschool band?? You guys are great! I saw this done by a professional orchestra and it was flawless... but you guys are wonderful too!!!

[cfieldclarinet93]

It was a bunch of high school kids all across the southeast. Thanks :D This is one of my favorite songs

[ledpenceal]

still great

[cfieldclarinet93]

Thanks :D

[ledpenceal]

wait is this USC Thornton? if so thats great!

[cfieldclarinet93]

No. This is a Clinic the University of South Carolina does every year for students 10th-12th grade. This is the top band.

[Crespire]

The choral version is still better imo :P

[cfieldclarinet93]

I love the choral version too but I'm a band geek sooooo I like this version :P lol

[cdog1089]

ok wow those clarinet were in sync with their breathing at 56 sec. lol

[southtubas1]

I was the first chair tuba in this band, and I never got a recording. Do you mind sending a the professional recording to me as well? Our clinician was incredible! Best clinic I've ever been to by far.

[cfieldclarinet93]

Yeah, just give me your email address and I'll be glad to send it to you. Do you want Americans We and Symphonic Dance No. 3 as well? I would send you Testament but the file's too large to attach to an email.

And for my first band clinic, the clinician was incredible! I love him to death and I strive to be like him! Plus, his son was adorable :)

[EmJ22287]

Sounds good, but, my goodness, pull those clarinets in; they're not oboes!

[NchSnare]

I love this piece, one of my favorites :), I was in the Culvahouse band at clinic, I loved the music we played :D

[minonoki]

This was nice! Does anyone have a professional recording of this?

[cfieldclarinet93]

i do have a recording of this

if you send me your email, i'll send it to you!

[8Creativetalents]

@cfieldclarinet93  This is absolutely incredible. What a beautiful rendition! Is the recording still available? I would love to have a copy!

[malcolmcox]

i was in Culvahouse this year, really wish that i had gotten the cd or had someone record it. great performance though.

[Anduhroo0112]

haha, i remember blasting that Eb at about 4:28

[Anduhroo0112]

did you happen to get the cd of this performance?

[cfieldclarinet93]

i did

[Anduhroo0112]

Could you possibly email me the recordings of our concert?

[cfieldclarinet93]

i'm not sure how...but if you know i'll be willing to try!

[fiveoctaves]

Nice!
