Description
Written in honor of those who rushed into the burning towers on 9/11 to save others, Lux Aeterna begins with a luminescent chord cluster, dividing the upper voices into eight parts, with random plosive sounds emanating from within the nebula. As the intensity grows, voices start to fall off, one by one, settling into a shimmering pool of sound, once again growing with a single high pitch evolving from the cluster of sound, leading to a full chorus entering with "Lux aerterna, luceat eis". Originally written in 2010 as part of Requiem Dies Magna and revised in 2023.
