For my 11,000th post, I present "O Magnum Mysterium"

This one of those songs that you need to invent a new word to describe how beautiful it is.

At about the 4 minute mark, if you don't lose your breath as the Soprano's and the Basses sing the "alleluia's" over the melody, you should check your pulse.

1. My dear charlie and algernon!

First, allow me to congratulate you on your milestone...

We always need reasons to be happy, and your milestone is an excellent one.

Keep on posting!

The music is wonderful; thank you!

2. Lauridsen is a wonderful choral composer

My choir has sung some of his pieces, although not this one.
