Par LAURIDSEN MORTEN. Morten Lauridsen's setting of Lux Aeterna , a five movement, non-liturgical requiem for choir and chamber orchestra/organ is a rich and intensely moving work. Choral textures are fully explored, from the sonorous, slow unfolding of the Introitus and the intricate counterpoint and paired voices of In Te, Domine, Speravi , to the cappella motet O Nata Lux and spirited canticle Veni, Sancte Spiritus . The last movement, a sublime Agnus Dei preceding the final Lux Aeterna , closes with a joyous Alleluia to provide an uplifting conclusion to this most powerful work. Available here is the vocal score for SATB divisi chorus, with Organ Accompaniment. / Niveau : Assez Facile / Répertoire / Chorale
