"When earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it --lie down for an aeon or two. Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew..." ~Rudyard Kipling~
The area concert choir and chamber singers presented a combined choral program at our church tonight. Included with the traditional Christmas carols and advent chorales, was O Magnum Mysterium. Setting by Morton Lauridsen (Chair of the Dept. of Composition at USC).

Lauridsen is a favorite of mine would like to have heard the concert too
Laruidsen is still about in the LA area. If you are in the area, arrange to go to the Los Angeles Master Chorale concerts. He is the resident composer with the group.
Thanks for coming by.
