O magnum mysterium 1
This O magnum mysterium was created in 2015 as a piece I wanted to perform with my siblings at our annual Christmas house concert. With its relatively simple harmony and structure and continuous four-part choir, it is well suited for amateur choirs.
O magnum mysterium
et admirabile sacramentum
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum
jacentem in praesepio.
Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt
portare Dominum Christum.
Alleluia.
Translation:
O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the newborn Lord,
lying in a manger!
O blessed virgin, whose womb
was worthy to bear
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Alleluia!
