Choral Awesomeness

Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium" is one of my favorite pieces of choral music. I remember hearing this piece for the first time and crying because it was so beautiful. Maybe we could try playing with the main melody or use the chords for inspiration?



This is a song called "Past Life Melodies" that features overtone singing (starting around minute 5), which would be fun to play with.



This is a really well-arranged version of "Hide and Seek" done by Divisi an all-women's acappella group also from UO. Just FYI, I checked it out and only the "Mmm whatcha say" part of the song has been used commercially. The rest would be unfamiliar to most people.
