O Magnum Mysterium

Ilian Lundberg (b. 1993, Sweden) almost exclusively composes sacred choral music, often inspired by models from the Renaissance and Baroque. He won the Summer Singers Composers Competition (Minneapolis) in 2018. His music has beenperformed in his native Sweden, Norway, France, the UK, and the US. O Magnum Mysterium (SATB, 2012) is Lundberg's first choral work, written at the age of 18. This elaborate setting rises out of the lower range of the men'svoices and takes on a Gesualdo-like chromaticism as it expresses the wonder of the O Magnum Mysterium text.
