The composer wrote about this work: "For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful 'O Magnum Mysterium' text with its depiction of the birth of the newborn King among the lowly animals and shepherds. This affirmation of God's grace to the meek and the adoration of the Blessed Virgin are celebrated in my setting through a quiet song of profound inner joy." The arrangement for symphonic winds by H. Robert Reynolds has the approval and appreciation of the composer. --James Huff 04:06, March 28, 2007 (EDT) (from the program notes of The Claremont Winds, submitted with permission)
