A wonderful performance of Cyrill Schürch’s “O magnum mysterium”

June 10, 2015 by Cyrill Schürch Leave a Comment

 
A recent wonderful live-performance of my setting of this famous text that has inspired so many composers over the centuries. In my attempt, “O magnum mysterium” returns three times after the first statement, in a similar gesture but each time shifted to a new tonality with even more flats. Thus, the listener gets ever more pulled into this magnificient text until the piece culminates in a jubilant “Alleluia” in C-major, having come full-circle back to very first harmony we heard.
