O Magnum Mysterium – SSAATB

From the Cristian Grases Latin American series comes a brilliant setting of O Magnum Mysterium from Ernesto Herrera. Gorgeous chords are introduced with haunting “ss” sounds before the warm melody commences. The harmonic colors are rich and beckoning. The strongest Latin flavors emerge near the end to the glorious “alleluias.” Excellent for advanced high school, community and college choirs. Medium in difficulty.
