ComposerLauridsen, MortenLauridsen was born February 27, 1943, in Colfax, Washington to a family of immigrants from Denmark. He was raised in Portland,
Oregon, where his mother worked as a bookkeeper and his father was with the United States Forest Service. His mother was a pianist
who had played in her high school dance band, and Lauridsen developed a love for music at an early age, by listening to her play
swing jazz and singing to him. At age eight he started playing the piano, and a couple of years later learned to play the trumpet. He
studied composition with Ingolf Dahl, Halsey Stevens, Robert Linn, and Harold Owen at the University of Southern California in the
1960s.Lauridsen's choral compositions, including seven choral cycles and a series of sacred a cappella motets, are featured
regularly in concerts worldwide. In particular, O Magnum Mysterium has become very popular in the choral repertoire and now in the
Brass world as well.
His musical language is influenced by chant, as well as masters through the ages, such as Josquin, Palestrina, Gesualdo, Monteverdi,
Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, and Duruflé. Taken from Wikipedia |
