Description:
1 hr 20 min. A tribute to a living legend, celebrating the life and music of the artist whom musicologist Nick Strimple has called “the only American composer in history who can be called a mystic.” National Medal of Arts recipient and most frequently performed American choral composer, Morten Lauridsen spends summers on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. The film features intimate interviews in California, Scotland and Waldron Island, Washington, interwoven with performances of his masterworks and commentaries by music contemporaries. Revealed through the lens of his passion for nature and music, Lauridsen expresses a presence of fierce compassion and unwavering dedication to the craft of composition. SPECIAL TREAT! After the showing, members of Sierra Master Chorale and Music in the Mountains Chorale will take the stage and perform Lauridsen’s “O Nata Lux” and “O Magnum Mysterium.”
