O magnum mysterium...quite arguably the most gorgeous piece of work out there to date...it is definitely a piece that is near to my heart. I can honestly say that there are few pieces of music that I have sung in the past that really stick with me and pop into my brain wanting to burst out into song-however-this, this is possibly the one that is hummed more in a day by me than any other song out there. I miss singing this-it was my favorite a few years back. I miss singing. I miss choir. I miss the confidence. I miss the power behind song. I miss the fullness of the sound. I miss the arrangements. I miss the bonds artists have when bringing a piece of work through music together. I miss the expression I was able to have every day. I just miss it.
Victoria: O magnum mysterium
Awful video, but it's the best quality I could find...I suppose you could learn it if you'd like.
'O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
Christ the Lord.
Alleluia!'
