Thread: Lauridson's Mid-winter songs

Hi everyone. I just purchsed a copy of Morten Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna (LA), and, as for some reason its hard to get. I had to buy it to ship to my house. I haven't received it yet, but I have already sung and deeply studied his O Magnum Mysterium and the first of his Mid-winter songs, Lament for Pasiphe (in fact I'm working on the piano accompaniment as we speak). I was wondering if anyone else was familiar with his work, especially on this CD, and what comments you had on these songs or Lauridsen's work in general.

One of my very favorite choral arrangements is Lauridsen's "Dirait On". Our women's chorus sang it two semesters ago. It is sooooo pretty. I don't know Lauridsen's other work. I know there is an SATB recording of "Dirait On" out there somewhere.
