A quiet and reflective setting for SAB of an epic traditional Christmas season text. Many great settings of O Magnum have been written, which all tend toward an ethereal focus. 1996 marks my 10th year as a composer, and 4th year as an organist and choir director. I dared not try to match the spirit of the great settings, Victoria, et al, and instead write music to be sung to the Baby.
O magnum mysterium,
et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum,
iacentem in praesepio!
O beata virgo, cuius viscera
meruerunt portare
Dominum Iesum Christum.

WHITLEY
"Whitley composes music of integrity and sophistication that's also disarmingly accessible—not an easy combination to achieve, even if he makes it sound easy..."
