Mystery in music


12/7/18 UPDATE:  Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Georgia Wind Symphony concert on 12/9 has been canceled.  Please stay tuned for information on future concerts.

If you have been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that music is an important part of my life.  I met my wife in grade school, and we played in bands together through high school.  We took a break from the band for about 30 years, but are now playing together again in the Georgia Wind Symphony.  This Sunday at 4PM at Cambridge High School in Milton, GA, we will be performing our annual Christmas program.  We will be playing one of my favorite compositions of all time, O Magnum Mysterium - O Great Mystery, written about Mary and the birth of Jesus.  We would love to have you join us this Sunday if you can, but if location or schedule keeps us apart, you can enjoy our performance of O Magnum Mysterium from last year here.   Here is the translated Latin:


O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord, lying in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Alleluia!



I hope your Christmas season is filled with music you love.
