O Magnum Mysterium is a setting of a Latin sacred text written for Christmas. The text depicts the extraordinary occurring among the ordinary: God coming to earth as a tiny baby, and animals in a lowly stable being the first to witness his arrival. Adding dynamic contrast (crescendo/decrescendo) on every phrase and singing legato (smoothly) with a gentle choral tone will reflect the wonder and awe the original text and this setting attempt to communicate.

At the Dresden Court a motetto pastorale replaced the offertorium at the Christmas Masses, between the Credo and the Sanctus. The present work O admirabile mysterium is distinguished by its scoring, unusual for Ristori, for two soprano and two alto voices. The association with Arcadian pastoral music, a principal element of Italian nativity scenes, is emphasized by the use of flutes and oboes. Score available separately - see item CA.2740400.

Ilian Lundberg (b. 1993, Sweden) almost exclusively composes sacred choral music, often inspired by models from the Renaissance and Baroque. He won the Summer Singers Composers Competition (Minneapolis) in 2018. His music has beenperformed in his native Sweden, Norway, France, the UK, and the US. O Magnum Mysterium (SATB, 2012) is Lundberg's first choral work, written at the age of 18. This elaborate setting rises out of the lower range of the men'svoices and takes on a Gesualdo-like chromaticism as it expresses the wonder of the O Magnum Mysterium text.

O Magnum Mysterium, commissioned by Marshall Rutter in honor of his wife, Terry Knowles, has had several thousand performances throughout the world and dozens of recordings since its 1994 premiere by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. I have also arranged the work for solo voice and piano or organ (recorded on Northwest Journey by Jane Thorngren accompanied by the composer), men's chorus and brass ensemble; H. Robert Reynold's stunning adaptation for symphonic winds was recently premiered in Minneapolis by the Thornton Wind Symphony. For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium text depicting the birth of the new-born King amongst the lowly animals and shepherds. This affirmation of God's grace to the meek and the adoration of the Blessed Virgin are celebrated in my setting through a quiet song of profound inner joy. – Morten Lauridsen.

Scor ed for piano left hand and string quartet, Kalevi Aho's Mysterium (2019) consists of four movements performed without a break. Aho had earlier come across the sketches for what was to be the last, unfinished work, Mysterium, by Alexander Scriabin. These fragmentary sketches inspired him to write this piano quintet dedicated to its commissioner, pianist Izumi Tateno. It is founded throughout on six-part Scriabin-like harmonies that also served as a basis for the melodic material. The first movement (Misterioso) is, as its name suggests, shadowy, mysterious in mood. The dynamic, quick second movement (Vivace) proceeds in quintuple 10/16 and 15/16 rhythms. The third movement (Adagio, misterioso) is again slow and dreamy, before arriving at the finale (Moderato) beginning in 11/16 time. The finale draws all the quintet's musical material together, and the work finally fades on mysterious Scriabin harmonies.
