O magnum mysterium

A setting of a timeless text for mixed chorus. Composed for the 2024 Christmas services at St. Andrew's Cathedral, Honolulu.

Text:

O magnum mysterium,

et admirabile sacramentum,

ut animalia viderent Dominum natum,

iacentem in praesepio!

O beata virgo,

cuius viscera meruerunt

portare Dominum Christum.

Alleluia!
