Eric Whitacre: Five Hebrew Love Songs / Kala Kalla

This is a true labor of love. Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir projects have been nothing short of an amazing testament to the human spirit and our collective ability to create joy in the world. VC4 takes the virtual choir project concept to an entirely new level. Combining some of the best elements of downtempo electronic music with choral and operatic singing, the original version of this piece sounds like it was pulled from an epic cinematic masterpiece. My progressive house mix takes a couple of cues from the original and then goes off into clubland. I hope you will all enjoy it. :-)

Morten Lauridsen
O Magnum Mysterium
for SATB chorus, a capella
Copyright 1995 by Southern Music Publishing Co., Inc. 

"For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O magnum mysterium text with its juxtaposition of the birth of the new-born King amongst the lowly animals and shepherds. This affirmation of God's grace to the meek and the adoration of the Blessed Virgin are celebrated in my setting through a quiet song of profound inner joy." - Morten Lauridsen

O magnum mysterium, 
et admirable sacramentum
ut animalia viderent Dominum
natum, jacentum in praesepio!
Beata Virgo, cujus viscera
meruerunt portare
Dominum Christum, Alleluia!

O great mystery, 
and wondrous sacrament, 
that animals should see the new-
born Lord, lying in their manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worth to bear the
Lord Jesus Christ, Alleluia!
