I first heard this piece as a freshman music major in college and it changed my entire idea of what music could be.
Absolutely.
Im a senior in high school my choir instructor challenges us a lot :D we're also singing The Boy Who Picked up His Feet To Fly, and Sing Gently those aren't as hard but still not stuff you see in high school often, (not this rendition of O Nata Lux though) I'd say the one we're singing is possibly harder as a song though similar in nature there is a lot more that is separated in the music making the transitions and the large harmonious parts even cooler when they come
Am in middle school and we are doing this
Try his O Magnum Mysterium-beautiful!
Between Lauridsen and Whittaker, choral music is so badass.
Just.... the range of emotion and power in human voices...
An altos delight! Beautifully written for us gals, especially! Love Morten so so much!
it's HEAVEN for ALL four plus parts...
Yes!! Team alto!
YES!!!! alto gang. i am dying to sing this piece especially since all of the parts of so beautifully written.
This has become one of my favorite choral works. Heard it performed for the first time last May. Never heard of it previously. I searched it out on line and have listened to several performances multiple times. Goosebumps every time. Sublime heavenly music.
Still a fave of mine that I sang in high school and always will be! ❤️
same!! always come back to it even after graduating.
I can't believe this was a piece I did in middle school lol
It's neat hearing what more experience allows you to do. Middle school could do much more than just what was on the page, then high school gets off the page a little bit more and lets you play with tempo and markings a bit more, and then college gets you even further, playing more with harmonics and tuning things just right. The more experience a group has, the finer details can be tuned.
So amazing song.
indescribably beautiful.
It is beautiful and gentle music
Just a beautiful piece overall
I sang this in the National Cathedral back in 2001, the acoustics were amazing !!!
I envy you! As an older college student (retread) our choir performed Morten Lauridsen Lux Aeterna on tour in UK. I was sixty and my classmates 18-21. Singing that work often brought tears to our eyes!
The only downside to Lauridsen’s choral works is that it all sounds the same. Not in any bad way; not even boring! I wish there were a way to have more variety without losing the distinctive sound! (Sort of Utopian, huh!)
I’m not being critical. I could listen to this all day long (and HAVE!).
I’m 82 now and still have the same reaction when I hear any good choir performing Lauridsen. Your choir singing Lauridsen and you need a straight-tone Baritone, get in touch. I got a few notes left in me! 😅
@@charlesmoore1762 Hang on to notes and the gift of song until there is no air left to sing them. My life has been saved because i have been blessed with the ability to sing
Wonderfull.... Magnific
Profoundly awesome, and beautifully composed piece, of blessed divine music, thanks for sharing the music.
Maravillosa pieza.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. I challenge any avowed atheist to deny the sacred beauty of this.
Atheism and choral music are not opposites - some great composers are/ were atheist and many followers of this music do not belong to religious groups. They just like the music, even perhaps the texts. This setting by the way, is superb, and beautifully performed.
a little slice of HEAVEN....
Sang it at uni, bringing back so many fond memories ❤
This piece is terribly difficult to get ready for performance: you need to mind the right tempo (and all the rit. - a tempo) to obtain both plainchantesque and litanic enchantment; the exact diction, the living breadth of phrasing, the sparkling hue in the harmonics... When you eventually see the light shining all around the place you understand the meaning of "good news" in the word "evangelium".
Meraviglioso
Bellisimo!!!
O nata lux de lumine,
Jesu redemptor saeculi,
Dignare clemens supplicum
Laudes precesque sumere.
Qui carne quondam contegi
Dignatus es pro perditis,
Nos membra confer effici
Tui beati corporis.
(O Light born of Light,
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
with loving-kindness deign to receive
suppliant praise and prayer.
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh
for the sake of the lost,
grant us to be members
of thy blessed body.)
The music of the heavens
TH-cam: Doesn't have a sheet music video of O Nata Lux
This guy: Fine, I'll do it myself
Sorry I just really love that backstory
Yes it is, and we are performing this after only rehearsing 4 times. Unfortunate.
Long time since I sang this
🙏🏻❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️🙏🏻
Stunning piece, but why does he always use a first inversion 9 chord as his initial sonority for many of his pieces? Perhaps that is his trademark.
every composer has his/her own style.
He does that because that’s what angels do.
Yes, that's the "Lauridsen chord" -- almost a trademark.
Please time stamp this for those of us who don't know where this first inversion 9 chord sorority is in the piece 😁
@@jondoyle44 the very first chord is one!
Красива вокална партия изпята добре, но не се разбират думите. Дикция
A joy to sing. An inspiration to hear. Thanks.but seems just a bit , mechanical for me.
