General Information

Title: O Magnum Mysterium
Composer: Wytze Oostenbrug
Lyricist:
Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB
Genre: Sacred, Motet

Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella

First published: 2017
Description: The original Gregorian melody is written in the 8th mode (hypomixolydian) with finalis on G and reciting tone on C. Characteristic here is that this reciting tone (dominant) is not, as usual, a fifth, but a quarter above the finalis. I have transposed this position to C hypomixolydian with reciting tone on F. With this also F major is very close and from there d minor, a minor and even A major are reached. However, the piece closes with an Alleluia in A major.

Latin text O magnum mysterium, et admirabile sacramentum, ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, jacentem in praesepio! Beata Virgo, cuius viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Iesum Christum.    Ave Maria, gratia plena,    Dominus tecum.    Benedicta tu in mulieribus. Beata Virgo, cuius viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Iesum Christum. Alleluia!

Dutch text O groot mysterie, en wondervol sacrament, dat dieren de nieuw geboren Heer zouden zien, liggend in een kribbe! Gezegend is de Maagd, wier schoot waardig was om te dragen onze Redder, Jezus Christus.    Wees gegroet, Maria, vol van genade,    De Heer zij met u.    Gezegend zijt gij onder alle vrouwen Gezegend is de Maagd, wier schoot waardig was om te dragen onze Redder, Jezus Christus. Alleluia!
