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

2009 USC Band Clinic Honor Band performing O Magnum Mysterium
This song is absolutely beautiful. It makes me want to cry T_T; in a good way though!!!
Once again, if you didn't see the Fiesta video, I'm the only girl in the second clarinet row (6th chair to be exact)
and ONCE AGAIN I DON'T OWN THIS BAND OR MUSIC (but I really wish I did)

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)

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

amazing oboe

[Lynne Levesque]

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

[Austin Jeffords]

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.

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.
