Musical Advent Calendar, Day 14: O Magnum Mysterium

 My Mission: One holiday-themed, non-carol song every day between now & Christmas. It's my own version of an Advent calendar. I may succeed, I may fail, but there will at least be some good music posted ... music you won't hear at the mall, that hopefully won't make you end up looking like him. ----->

Number 14: O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen. (In both its original version for a cappella choir, and the band transcription by H. Robert Reynolds.)
