One of the best-selling pieces of choral music of the late twentieth century, the motet O Magnum Mysterium" ("O Great Mystery") epitomizes the the style of it's composer, American Morten Lauridsen. In this four-part a cappella chorus work, Lauridsen takes a centuries-old Latin text describing the Nativity scene, imbues it with closely-voiced chords, colored by suspensions or or quietly dissonant tones, and creates a restrained, simple setting that develops at an unhurried pace."
