I am 82 and sang tenor in the choir of an Episcopal Church for 32 years. I will be finding out much sooner than most of you as to the music that will be sung when we go home to meet God. I have sung everything from the music of Palestrina to Ola Gjeilo. The music of Morten Lauridsen has a special place in my heart, especially "ETERNAL LIGHT". My God Bless Us all.

Yes, I too first heard it on a car radio and had to pull over and listen to the end. I knew I did not know the composer but of one thing I was sure, it HAD to be Paul Salamunovich conducting - only he could get that kind of choral sound. I was right AND he brought us this piece through Morten Lauridsen - what a wonderful duo!

I read once that Schubert had a dream after the young daughter of a friend had died that he stood and watched a circle of men walking around her tomb listening to music. Finally they let him into the circle and he could hear the music too. You really have to wonder if some people literally hear angels? This music makes you think that much inspiration is quite real. I think of Beethoven in that terrible silence of deafness actually hearing another source of sound. Did he also hear the 9th symphony and not just compose it? You just have to wonder when music like the music of the spheres is handed to humans to sing. I am a cancer patient. My greatest healing I think comes from music and especially choral music. I have sung it all my life. What a joy now to hold it in my heart, to let it hold me until fear and grief and ignorance dissolves. Thank you Morten wherever you are.
@ElrondPA
@ElrondPA 8 лет назад
+Vara Sue Tamminga I have no doubt that Beethoven could hear the 9th; I'm only an ordinary singer, and I can often hear melodies that I'm sight-reading if they're not too complex. I'm sure a musical genius like Beethoven could hear the full orchestra, including the timbres of the different instruments, as he was writing the music.
@evansquilt
@evansquilt 8 лет назад
+ElrondPA - Beethoven reportedly could hear the music in his mind even if he couldn't hear it with his ears. He couldn't hear the applause, though, and I always tear up at the story of how one of the soloists for the world premiere of the Ninth had to turn him around so he could see the audience on its feet, roaring and clapping and cheering. Supposedly he burst into tears, and who can blame him?

I lost both of my grandparents last August - 8 days apart. This work gives me great comfort in the knowledge that they are free from suffering and are with God. I simply cannot imagine the overwhelming feeling of Peace they are feeling right now - their 100-year-old bodies transformed to eternal ones - the music they are hearing - the sights that they are seeing...I was so blessed to have had them until I was 55 years old. But the double-edged sword is that there is a hole in my life that isn't fillable until I see them again. I miss them every single day - and will until I, too, close my eyes in death. May Light Perpetual Shine on them. May they Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory. May it be so. Soli Deo Gloria. Amen.

By God's grace, gift and favor, I am a classical musician, composer, teacher, violist and an Anglican choirmaster - organist. I am also a Christian mystic. I hear pieces like this all the time; in my head, heart, mind and soul. I talk to God daily and many have been the times that I am simply overwhelmed. Its not big grandiose things that overwhelm, but rather the simplest of little, sweet and ever so tenderly soft things. For its in the still small voice that the fullness of LOVE is given to us - freely and unconditionally. If only we would pass along to everyone, that gift of LOVE, IN THE SILENCE OF A KISS, THE WARNTH OF AN EMBRACE, AND THE SACRIFICE OF LIFE. Music IS the language of heaven and we have only to humble ourselves, bow our hearts and listen. God bless you all and may the Light of His peace shine on and radiate from you eternally.

I live in Phoenix and had not heard about this performance. Can you give more details? Morten Lauridsen is returning to Phoenix for the Sing Phoenix! Choral Festival October 18-20, 2018, if you are interested in singing for him again.

My favorite groups of all time: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. They still are!. But at 63, If I had to choose only one, it would be this monumental work by Maestro Morten Lauridsen. His music "has it all... says it all!". It elevates my soul, inner self, persona, my core, my being...as it removes the shield that blinds us from reconnecting with whom we really are as humans in our short passage on this earth, like the zillions of stars that cannot be seen during the day as we are too engaged in taking care of our earthy bodies.

15m09s... grand. Soaring, gloriously uplifting. -- I wrote the above statement in Aug2017. Since then, I have heard all the performances of Lux Aeterna on RU-vid. IMO, this performance is the definitive one. Every measure by itself is choral, orchestral, and recording perfection.
@JohnProthero
@JohnProthero 3 года назад
Like you I feel this is the definitive one, but mostly due to the fact that Lauridsen wrote it with the LAMC under Salamunovich in mind. He knew that Salamunovich would be sensitive to the chant-like quality and phrasing.

I'm performing this with my university orchestra and the choir there on Sunday and my favorite part about this piece (other than the emotion it evokes in my soul) is the low parts in the low instruments like cello and bass. As a cellist it's extremely fun to play the low parts of the harmonies

you would like the Requiem by Steve Dobrogosz then. the 2nd mvt "Hostias" where the tenors start singing "Sanctus" is absolutely ethereal. also listen to "Requiem for the living" by Dan Forrest Both these works are on the same level as this gorgeous piece.

Movement 4, Veni Sanctus Spiritus. Three years later, this has become a ritual of worship of our Creator!

When I began to listen this wonderful "Requiem" I felt the same atmosphere than in the Requiem og Fauré or Duruflé : peaceful, hopeful, but in fact, it is very different, including the classical music, the atmosphere of the anglican cathedrals and the contemporary film music, all that elevated at a higher place : you can guess the heavenly Jerusalem close to you !
@OlDoinyo
@OlDoinyo 9 лет назад
In all the (non-commercial-popular) music composed in the late 20th century, with its fascinations with serialism, dissonance, amelodicism, and other academic esotericism, it is all too rare to stumble on something like this. It is hard to believe that this is modern music! Like Pyotr Goncharov, he has kept the old idioms alive.

I started singing choral music when I was 23 and did so until I was 57, when a medical condition affected my voice and I had to drop out. After a couple of years, I finally regained my voice and returned to sing again. The time off had shrunk my range and I was made S2 after having sung nothing but S1 for all those years and I ended up dropping out partly because of that and partly because of a new interest that often came in conflict with rehearsals (I always chose rehearsals, but I wasn't always happy about it in these instances), and I have to say that listening to this is the first time in the three years since I left the San Francisco Choral Society that I'm really sorry I didn't stick it out while I expanded my range to its former glory. It's sad to think I'll never perform this piece again; to me it recalls and epitomizes the deep connection I felt to my soul and to those singing around me.

+Mary Rose Kent That you have performed it even once is already an achievement which the majority of us envy, for we are naturally unable. Cherish the memory, but don't hold back on your future for what you are unable to do now. Life has a way of being ever dynamic, and we live by walking in step with it; not holding on to the past but growing from it and experiencing new chapters every season. I hope you may find solace and peace in this.

I agree with you, but look at the 1,800+ thumbs up vs the 60 down votes. That's a 30:1 ratio. We're too apt to overlook the overwhelming positives in this world and focus on the few naysayers. Ignore them and don't let them distract you from this inspirational music. : )
