Paramètre de Morten Lauridsen ' Lux aeterna ' - un requiem cinq-mouvement, non liturgique pour choeur et orchestre de chambre et des organes - est une oeuvre riche et intensément émouvante. Chorales textures sont entièrement explore, à partir du sonore, ralentissent dépliement de la ' Introït ' et le contrepoint complexe et voix appariés de ' In te, Domine, speravi ', pour le motet cappella ' nata o lux ' et pleine d'entrain Cantique ' Veni, Sancte Spiritus '. Le dernier mouvement - un remplacée par la nouvelle ISBNlime ' Agnus Dei ' précédant le dernier ' Lux aeterna ' - ferme avec une joyeuse Alleluia pour fournir une conclusion enlevante à ce travail plus puissant. Cet arrangement choral magnifique, avec autres favoris Lauridsen, a récemment été libéré sur Hyperion records (CDA67449) / Conducteur Et Choeur (Orgue)

Each of the five connected movements in this choral cycle contains references to 'Light,' assembled from various sacred Latin texts. I composed Lux Aeterna in response to my mother's final illness and found great personal comfortand solace in setting to music these timeless and wondrous words about Light, a universal symbol of illumination at all levels - spiritual, artistic and intellectual. The work opens and closes with the beginning and ending of theRequiem Mass, with the central three movements drawn respectively from the Te Deum, O Nata Lux and Veni, Sancte Spiritus. The opening Introitus introduces several themes that recur later in the work and includes an extended canonon et lux perpetua. In Te, Domine, Speravi contains, among other musical elements, the cantus firmus Herzliebster Jesu (from the Nuremburg Songbook, 1677) and a lengthy inverted canon on fiat misericordia. O Nata Lux and Veni,Sancte Spiritus are paired songs, the former an a cappella motet at the center of the work and the latter a spirited, jubilant canticle. A quiet setting of the Agnus Dei precedes the final Lux Aeterna, which reprises the openingsection of the Introitus and concludes with a joyful celebratory Alleluia. --Morten Lauridsen.

Dona nobis pacem and Lux aeterna were both written for concert programs devoted to specific themes. They share the use of the techniques of minimalism in their organ parts, enabling the broad vocal lines in the choral voices to stretch out above this instrument, thus imparting a special aspect to the concerns addressed by the texts: the longing for freedom in the here and now, as expressed in the Dona nobis pacem, as well as the desire for peace and tranquillity in the Lux aeterna.

Otto M. Schwarz was asked by a friend to compose a chorale for the funeral of his child. Lux Aeterna (The Eternal Light) is actuallypart of the requiem mass, but in this composition, there is no reference to the original Latin text. People who recount near-death experiences often report a bright light. The music moves back and forth between passages that are sad, optimistic, and imploring in nature, posing questions that cannot be answered. The end of the piece comes, however, with a conciliatory major chord that reflectsthe calm and warmth of this light that promises redemption.
