Lauridsen, Morten - I will lift up mine eyes. SATB (CSS)

In speaking of Lauridsen in this book Choral Music in the Twentieth Century, the author Nick Strimple says of him, he is the only American composer in history who can be called mystic, (whose) probing, serene work contains all the elusive and indefinable ingredient which leaves the impression that all questions have been answered... From 1993 Lauridsens music rapidly increased in international popularity, and by the centuys end he had eclipsed Tandall Thompson as the most frequently performed American choral composer.I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes was written for Stephen Layton and Polyphony and has been recorded on Lauridsen: Nocturnes (Hyperion, CDA 67580).
