[From a recent CD] Morten Lauridsen was born in Colfax, Washington in 1943, and raised in Portland, Oregon. He attended Whitman College and the University of Southern California, where he studied advanced composition. A long-time professor and Chair of the Department of Composition at USC, he has been composer in Residence of the Los Angeles Master Chorale since 1994. Lauridsen is an extrodinairly gifted composer. Rather than give you words regarding this living composer I recommend you listen to Les Chansons De Roses (recently recorded by the Los Angleles Master Chorale and Sinfonia Orchestra (RCM 19705).
