Lauridsen's composition has won multiple awards, including the ASCAP Standard Award (in 1982) and the Phi Kappa Phi Award for Creative Works (in 1984).

Along with James Mulholland and Eric Whitacre , Lauridsen is arguably one of America's most-performed contemporary Choral composers, and writes both Sacred and Secular Music . Much of Lauridsen's appeal comes from his coloristic Harmonies via added note Tertian Chords , perhaps most notably a 'signature' Harmonic Structure of a first- Inversion Major Triad with an added tone a Perfect Fourth or Major Second above the Chord Root .

His five-movement work ''Lux Aeterna'' (1997) for chorus and orchestra has become popular in the United States, with numerous performances, recordings and radio broadcasts.
