The Great Mystery. Compositions that make you cry with joy.
Palm Sunday.
They have the processional.
They have the confessional.
They have the recessional.
I have the following obsessional.
Who are we?
What are we?
When are we?
Where are we?
Why are we?
O Magnum Mysterium.
The Great Mystery indeed.

Raised in Portland, Oregon, Mr. Lauridsen (b. February 27, 1943 in Colfax, Washington) attended Whitman College and worked as a Forest Service firefighter and lookout (on an isolated tower near Mt. St. Helens) before travelling south to attend USC, where he studied composition with Ingolf Dahl, Halsey Stevens, Robert Linn and Harold Owen. He divides his time now between Los Angeles and his summer cabin on a remote island off the northern coast of Washington.
