Today, as Christmas Eve settles around us, we invite you into a quiet meditation written by Tyler Johnson and published as the culmination of the advent series in the FM magazine, Wayfare, with music from the King's College Choir singing O Magnum Mysterium. This reflection draws us into the sacred reality of the Nativity—the laboring Mary, exhausted and tearful, the beauty born through pain. It reminds us that the Christ child did not come to erase suffering but to teach us how to live and love within it. So, in this moment of stillness before tomorrow's joy, we invite you to pause, breathe, and reflect on this Christmas truth: love enters our world through labor and struggle, bringing with it a deeper peace and lasting meaning.I also want to mention that you can go to the FM YouTube channel to see this meditation with beautiful nativity art by Brandon GonzalesFrom all of us at Faith Matters and Wayfare Magazine, we wish you a peaceful Christmas Eve.

The emotional, some say spiritual, effect music has on us is notoriously difficult to put into words. It's sort of like analyzing why something is funny. The reality ever exceeds our verbal grasp. Why are minor chords sad and majors happy? Why, when you hear a song from your childhood is there a superglue of emotion attached, bringing you instantly to those moments long ago? This week's guest is one of the greats in the choral music world. If you enjoy music with a lush, cinematic sound created for multiple voices on the exquisite side, Morten Lauridsen is your man. The most frequently performed American composer of choral music, Lauridsen is a National Medal of Arts recipient (2007), he was composer-in-residence of the Los Angeles Master Chorale (1994–2001), and has been a professor of composition at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music for more than 50 years. His work has been recorded on over 200 CDs including five with Grammy nominations. We're talking serious musical gravitas here. On November 11, 2018, a massive concert for international television is being held at the Brandenburg Gate in Germany to mark the centenary of the end of World War One. In addition to Welsh composer Karl Jenkins' Mass for Peace, the other piece selected is Lauridsen's beautiful Lux Aeterna. I predict not a dry eye on that night. You can imagine my surprise when, during the interview, the great man spontaneously began playing a portion of his classic O Magnum Mysterium to explain why the notes for the word “Virgo” ground the piece in a special way!   In this interview, you will learn: Why every artist has to risk failure; as not trying guarantees failure How Lauridsen became a late bloomer as a composer, at age 50, and maybe how you can, too Why poetry deserves a massive revival The importance of stillness and quiet for human serenity and creativity The mysterious way in which music connects us to the divine   Resources mentioned in this episode: O Magnum Mysterium performance  Lux Aeterna performance Profound talk by director Karl Paulnack to music freshmen at Boston College Conservatory  CD album, Morten Lauridsen: Lux Aeterna; Madrigali; Ave Maria; Ubi Caritas  CD album streaming, Lauridsen: Mid-Winter Songs  Connect with Morten: www.mortenlauridsen.net

The choral music of Richard Lambert, born in Bath in the English West Country in 1951, covers a wide range of expression, ranging on this album from straightforward SATB settings for church performance to a sardonic parody of the excesses of established religion. It also encompasses the timeless and the timely, with a number of contributions to the age-old tradition of Christmas music to a cantata inspired by the Covid pandemic.This is the first recording of the Accordare Choir, founded and conducted by Karolina Csáthy, initially using former choral scholars of The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge; since then it has expanded in size, scope and accomplishment.Tracks The Jackdaw of Rheims (1995/2018) (12:46) Prayer and Supplication (1979, rev. 2020) (9:20) Lord, Make us Instruments of Thy Peace (1993) (3:14) A Christmas Sequence All was for an Apple (2020) (2:15) Herrick's Carol (1995) (4:18) Hodie Christus natus est (2012) (2:44) O Magnum Mysterium (2012) (2:54) Away in a Manger (2009) (2:26) The Holly and the Ivy (2012) (3:30) There was Sweet Music (2019) (5:34) The Wind among the Reeds (2016-17) (10:03) …a plague o' your houses (2021) (15:12)

I have always had this idea that I'd go into my grab bag of advice– actually two grab bags I have - and this episode is called My Grab Bag of Life. I recorded it in case you hear something that helps. Word of caution – it will be random. Some life things some flutey things and you'll hear about Sarah. I chose some Christmas Nativity music – this time my arrangement all played by me – of Morten Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium

Cantus — Into the Light (Signum) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Paul Scholtz and Alex Nishibun from Cantus by Each December, we find ourselves surrounded by the darkness of winter, as we prepare to say goodbye to the old year and welcome in the new. It can be a time of great promise. That's Cantus' idea behind their new holiday recording, Into the Light.  “We try not to take for granted that we were able to come together and sing, which is what so many folks based in singing community choirs couldn't do,” says tenor Paul Scholtz. “But we had the privilege to do that because it is our full-time job. We wanted to bring that hopeful and celebratory energy to these performances.” Tenor Alexander Nishibun joins Scholtz to talk about their new holiday release. Tell me about Rosphanye Powell's ‘Glory Hallelujah to the Newborn King.' Alexander: “It has a killer opening solo by one of our great baritones, Rob Kelly Hines. One of the things we love about it is that Powell sets this beautiful poetry and creates this visceral excitement you feel in the music itself. It was also voiced for male voices by her husband, William C. Powell. So having that wonderful collaboration between these two artists and bringing it to Cantus was a real treat for all of us.” Tell me about Bebe Boykin's ‘O Magnum Mysterium.' Alexander: “That's one of my favorite pieces in this album. ‘O Magnum Mysterium' is this wonderful response to a text in Latin that I was introduced to us by a renaissance piece by Vitoria, which is about 500-something years old. Hearing it from this modern voice is astounding because it has this gravitas and weight. There's a huge respect for the language, which you can hear in how Boykin sets it. You hear the influence of the 21st-century ear and the 20th-century artists. You can get that sense because of how she treats the text. That informs us how we approach that particular song because of how she sets the lyrics.” Do you have a favorite track on the album? Paul: “The first one that comes to mind is Joni Mitchell's ‘River.' She's talked about it being a song she wrote for folks who feel lonely during Christmas. I think the way that consciousness can capture essentially what is a transcribed piano part underneath some soloists is beautiful. There's motion, which brings up and highlights the text.” Tell me about your reaction to premiering a new arrangement of ‘Silent Night.' Paul: “Christopher H. Harris has been a friend of the ensemble for a few years. We've programmed some of his pieces. He's an emerging composer and getting a lot of attention now, which is well-deserved. He agreed to write this brand new arrangement of ‘Silent Night' that allows us to explore some of the complex harmonies he put in here. It's one thing to see your line and to sing it, but then to have it come to life for the first time. This is a brand new arrangement, which means to have it come to life for you in that rehearsal room is an extraordinary moment.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Morten Lauridsen has written choral music that has deeply moved people around the world. As one of America's most beloved and also most performed composers, he received the National Medal of Arts in 2007. His works O Magnum Mysterium, Dirat-on, O Nata Lux, and Sure On This Shining Night have become the all-time best selling choral octavos distributed by Theodore Presser Music. Not only a composer but also a teacher, he taught at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music for 52 years (!), was head of the composition department from 1990-2002, and founded the school's Advanced Studies in Film Scoring program, now one of the most important film scoring programs in the world.Early in his life, Morten Lauridsen was a fire fighter in the Pacific Northwest, so I ask him how his 10 weeks alone in a lookout tower pointed him in the direction of music. From there he discusses his studies at the University of Southern California under the tutelage of Halsey Stevens and Ingolf Dahl, two giants in the world of music. And then we begin our discussion of his composing career with a deep dive into perhaps his most famous work, O Magnum Mysterium.Dorico Professional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

Whether you’re doing some last-minute wrapping, preparing the sprouts or jetting off on a festive holiday this hour of brilliant brass music is just the thing to have with you.  Frank recalls conducting Sleigh Bells and Brass, a Brass Band of Battle Creek CD which has the band at the top of its game. We have two classic arrangements from The International Staff Band of the Salvation Army and The North Carolina Brass Band unwrap a musical adaptation of the famous poem A Visit from Santa better known to us as ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Matt Ford and Fodens go carolling and Manger Mussikklag provide that quite moment of contemplation in their gorgeous recording of O Magnum Mysterium.  It’s the best hour of brass music you’ll find anywhere this Christmas.

Evan Ramos is the Assistant Choir Director at Carroll High School in Southlake, TX.  He is a composer and arranger of pieces for choral music including O Magnum Mysterium and One Light.  In this episode, we talk about working with high school students, musical theater, and composition.   Website:  www.afternoonti.blogspot.com   Intro/Outro Music: Our Big Adventure by Scott Holmes www.scottholmesmusic.com

We turn the tables on our host as Nancy Bos's son, Quincy Costlow, interviews Nancy for the podcast. Nancy suffered serious performance anxiety because the music she was trained to sing did not speak to her; classical music wasn’t her genre of choice. Once she committed to singing and teaching in other styles, her performance anxiety dissipated and confidence took its place. Nancy’s joy in teaching singing is that she can be a key part of someone’s journey and help them realize their dreams. Her passion for singing is to be an artist of the audiences emotions through song. She has been amazed to learn through this podcast that every guest has had a different reason for their passion. Hers is to change the dialog, the energy, of the audience. Nancy’s recommendation for singers is that they have a goal to work toward, and if they don’t have a goal set for them, then to set one themselves. Quincy Costlow, the guest host, is a 21 year old apprentice in the field of heating and air conditioning. He dreams of having a podcast of his own some day.

Trinity began conducting this service in 1958, following the Anglican ceremony established at Kings College in Cambridge, England in 1918. In this service, the community hears and receives the story of “God with us” through nine passages of scripture along with carols and anthems of Christmas. The Chapel Singers, the Trinity Choir, as well as student instrumentalists, lead the musical portions of the service. Readers are chosen from among the wider College community. One Friend of the Chapel remarked that the 2010 Service of Lessons and Carols was the best he had experienced in thirty-one years at Trinity: “The singing was exquisite, with excellent intonation and with enthusiasm and conviction that was absolutely impressive. The service was beautifully balanced between readings and music, and the readers were magnificently prepared.” This year Trinity’s Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols was held on Sunday December 4, 2016, at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.

Responding to an inquiry in a choir Facebook group (that shall not be named) about why it may not be best idea to sing Vittoria’s “O Magnum Mysterium” at a tree-lighting. This is a quick lesson on playing the long game. Listen   Notes The original post on Facebook: Every year our choir is invited to sing at the city Tree Lighting ceremony. Last year the set we sang included the Victoria O Magnum Mysterium, Betelehemu, and Carol of the Bells - a mix of songs people may know, but also a few they probably didn't (I don't remember the entire set). My principal got an email from them today (the concert is on Wednesday) asking him to ensure the choir performed more "festive" music this year, because we sang "some Bach or something" last year. I work really hard to select repertoire that is both educational and challenging. The choir loved the Victoria last year, and sang it really well. I admit that if it was the only song we sang that might have been problematic, but we did a lot of upbeat and more traditional things too. I'm stumped as to how to respond. My response, and what I will use to elaborate upon in this episode: I LOVE all the pieces you programmed, but for an event like this you must think of your audience of regular old people who know nothing about choral music. Meeting them where they are is the first step to raising them to where you want them to be musically. A tree lighting is the perfect place to "give them what they want". If you do, they'll start showing up at your regular concerts, THEN you can educate them. Do not give away an opportunity to brighten people's Christmas season through your great work with great kids. :) If you want to expand your reach in the community, do the gig, sing some familiar songs that don't make you feel like you're selling your soul, and watch as everyone comes up to show their appreciation for your choir. This is a HUGE opportunity to make people smile. Forgive the "some Bach or something" comment, realize they're clueless, and do it brother! Merry Christmas! Support the show on

O Magnum Mysterium (O Wondrous Mystery)Arr. by Morten LauridsenChoir of the Cathedral of St. John the DivineConducted by Kent Tritle The nativity scene is one of the oldest and richest images of Christmas: Mary and Joseph with the newborn baby Jesus, whose maternity ward was a stable, because all the hotels in Bethlehem had their “no vacancy” signs out. And of course there are animals in that stable – a very unusual royal court for a very unusual king. That is the image that has been contemplated literally for centuries in the monastic chant, O Magnum Mysterium – "O great mystery and wonderful sacrament" – that animals should see the newborn Lord lying in a manger. The words have been set by many choral composers, but one of the newest settings, from the early 1990s, is by composer Morten Lauridsen. The mystery and wonder of this nativity picture appear in the first chord the chorus sings, and the music has that particular quality of making time seem to stop. It’s terrific for a moment of contemplation, and it’s performed here by the Choir of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, conducted by Kent Tritle.
