O Magnum Mysterium is such a beautiful piece. It bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I first heard this tune played by The Trombody Peabones ensemble (8 trombones) in Baltimore, under the direction of James Olin. I never knew a trombone ensemble could create such an overwhelming sound. Ever since that recital, I crave this tune.
What an amazing performance of such a great piece of choral music! The arrangement is perfect, and has just enough instrumentation to hear each voice clearly in the ensemble. A 10 out of 10
I've loved this piece for decades. And as an old low brass(euphonium) player I did not think it could ever be done without a full brass ensemble aside from low brass. I was so very wrong. The choral arrangements are heavenly....but there's just something about the notes themselves that Carrey it away
I was lucky enough to audition and make it for montana all state band this year and we played this song and let me tell you. Most beautiful song to play as trumpwt 1. I loved jt
I happened to stumble across this while doing some research on trumpet writing for a paper I'm doing. Well done, EJ and co. Loved hearing the recording from NTC.
I’ve had the great opportunity to sing this majestic piece with a choir twice, once in 1997 at summer music school and the other in 1998 at Carnegie Hall. I never imagined this piece could be done solely with trumpets and I have to say, good job men!!
I played this two years ago in my school's wind ensemble!!!!!!! I play trumpet, and I just want to jump through the screen and hear this live!!!!! Omfg this is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!
The locations of the breaths in the music might be right, but they don't have to create a yawning chasm of space in the sound to make their point. It could be more subtle and connected.
5 flugelhorns, 3 trumpets? I mean, that's what my eyes are telling me. Original by Lauridsen is SSAATTBB voices, acapella. But yeah, this is a "trumpet" ensemble, being performed with an overbalance of flugelhorns to warm up and darken the bottom end of the group, and also to add some low pitches with those fourth valves that a trumpet would struggle to produce.
m4rvin lol I’m playing infinite ascent for Ntc this year and I’m pretty sure Erik Morales copy and pasted some of the chords from this piece for infinite ascent.😂
I feel like the two biggest things they need to work on are breathing together and starting together, two things that really strike me as something a high school band could easily achieve as long as they're awake. These guys are clearly not asleep. You can tell because the intonation is fantastic. And maybe that's where they spent all their time. I don't know that though. What I do know is that the easy stuff sounds bad and a high school trumpet choir could at least start together.
Listen to it as a choral piece and you'll get why they're not pegging those bits. There's got to be a bit of slop (IMO) to deliver the the vocal quality and intent. That said, there's at least on guy who's breathing through his horn, which does grate a tiny bit.
No knock against these guys, they've got terrific skills. I tend to favor the more sustained, choral way of having limited breaks in the melodic line, except for certain places in the piece for dramatic effect.
The single most beautiful trumpet ensemble performance I have ever witnessed.
Agreed! Beautifully phrased!
A trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Louie Hudson Yea, I have been using Flixzone} for since december myself =)

They all have such pure and absolutely beautiful tone

What a magnificent, magnificent performance of Lauridsen's masterpiece. Superb! Dr Marc van Grondelle, Great Britain.
That flugelhorn sound is amazing.

A live performance is so wonderful to witness. Any group can do a studio gig, but to sound like this live is goosebump spinetingling.

Omfg this is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally crying right now. So beautiful
Excellent gentlemen, absolutely beautiful! It was so moving and shows music can provide a message, even when a word is not spoken! I was indeed moved!
Gorgeous; gave me goose bumps.
A difficult piece. Well done! Superb!
so beautiful
There breathing is like that because of the breathe marks in the piece. They know what they're doing.
They're*

Evan Misejka Sir you must be a Harvard student.
Evan Misejka has

@Kevin Maloney. This is fantastic. I listen to this all the time. I am trying to get some former students to perform this with me.
Joey T
Fantastic playing!
Some awesome playing that transfers you to another place, would love to get a copy of their manuscript
For this piece of music..
So many trumpets in one room :') i love it❤️
Whomever is playing those bass notes is an absolute badass.
gorgeous piece and beautifully played.
Pretty doggone magnificent. Thank you men!!
The chords in the fluegels just ring with overtones. That is what makes this piece. It's damn hard to tune that well.
Very beautiful! Is there any way to purchase this arrangement for trumpet choir?
chills. All there is .
What Loveliness ! What grandeur. #breath
Exquisite music!
Wonderful!
Bravo!!!
OMG MASTER PLAYING ARMY TRUMPETS.
Does anyone have the Sheet Music?? Or does anyone know how to get this arrangement? Just wow!
Does anyone know which parts they used flugels on?
If anyone knows how and where to get a copy of this arrangement, I would be much obliged. Such a moving performance. :)
Gorgeous! What's the name of the arranger?
DeeTrumpet it's Morten Lauridsen
@@mcdaryl Lauridsen is the composer, not the arranger.
Is very beautiful!!!!!! who created this arrangement??
who created this arrangement?? Can I get a copy?
No
Massive Well, I guess that answers that.
It's exactly the vocal score of Morten Lauridsen "O Magnum Misterium"
@@antoniofernandez4949 False. It is transposed up one half step to Eb. Written as F on the page, for their Bb instruments. The original is in D.
The beginning sounds a lot like Nimrod by Elgar
00:43
Can i get a psf of score and parts. Please!
This sounds like a soundtrack for God.
May I ask what the instrumentation is in this piece. I loved it.
Trumpet (ensemble). Very rare to it that instrument in an ensemble. Enjoy!

Wait a sec, is it me or does the beginning of this sound a lot like the beginning of Erik Morales' infinite ascent ?
m4rvin lol I’m playing infinite ascent for Ntc this year and I’m pretty sure Erik Morales copy and pasted some of the chords from this piece for infinite ascent.😂
pretty :)

sosburn97 really? you think the intonation was on?? time I don't think so, the fluted and other low parts are way off especially at the end
sosburn97 just awful
Donald Sanders you are an idiot!
Lots of ragged entrances - not enough looking up.
me looking for who asked
You guys are playing lots of nice notes - not much music going on.
O
WHAT DO YOU CALL MUSIC ?!?!?!?!?
Why are you the way that you are? Who hurt you?
whoosh
