{"product_id":"lauridsen-lux-aeterna-satb-choral-score-228863","title":"Lauridsen - Lux Aeterna SATB Choral Score","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach of the five connected movements in this choral cycle contains references to 'Light,' assembled from various sacred Latin texts. I composed \u003ci\u003eLux Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e in response to my mother's final illness and found great personal comfort and solace in setting to music these timeless and wondrous words about Light, a universal symbol of illumination at all levels - spiritual, artistic and intellectual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work opens and closes with the beginning and ending of the Requiem Mass, with the central three movements drawn respectively from the \u003ci\u003eTe Deum, O Nata Lux\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVeni, Sancte Spiritus\u003c\/i\u003e. The opening \u003ci\u003eIntroitus\u003c\/i\u003e introduces several themes that recur later in the work and includes an extended canon on “et lux perpetua.” \u003ci\u003eIn Te, Domine, Speravi\u003c\/i\u003e contains, among other musical elements, the cantus firmus “Herzliebster Jesu” (from the \u003ci\u003eNuremburg Songbook\u003c\/i\u003e, 1677) and a lengthy inverted canon on “fiat misericordia.” \u003ci\u003eO Nata Lux\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVeni, Sancte Spiritus\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eAgnus Dei\u003c\/i\u003e precedes the final \u003ci\u003eLux Aeterna\u003c\/i\u003e, which reprises the opening section of the Introitus and concludes with a joyful celebratory \u003ci\u003eAlleluia\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e--Morten Lauridsen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePublisher\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePeermusic Classical\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFormat\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eChoral Score\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBinding\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePages\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e56\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eStock code\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e228863\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn-store pickup available.
