"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music.

I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get the most joy in life out of music."

O Magnum Mysterium (Lauridsen)

“O Magnum Mysterium,” by Morten Lauridsen may be the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Several years ago, I was privileged to be in a choir that sang this piece, and that was my introduction to this amazing work.

From the YouTube notes: "The choir of Westminster Cathedral sing Morten Lauridsen's stunningly beautiful setting of O Magnum Mysterium during Midnight Mass 2009."
