Description
Imagine the opening solo in darkness. Light increases as the choir begins, growing to full brilliance when three luminous lines intertwine. A "lux aeterna" refrain is sung in resonant harmony, with touches of shimmering dissonance on cadences. One final tone cluster at the end ignites shivers. This inspiring text provides a personal credo to live with light. Download the optional violin obbligato for free.

I will honestly never forget this song. I sang the solo in front of an audience at my last middle school concert—it was the last song—and I honestly miss my teacher so much. He was really understanding about everything and will always hold a special place in my heart <3

I got the opportunity to sing with the choir while the composer conducted the entire 10-hour county choir. Mr. Beck, you've been one of the best. "Think of this as a test, while I have the answers."

I just heard this performed by a group of choirs (4 elementary, 1 junior high, 2 high school, and a few college students) and it sounded BEAUTIFUL. The Lux Æterna part is my favorite part for sure

I love this song so much and I sang this in choir just a few months ago. I'm in soprano, but I also tried alto after the concert and absolutely loved it! It will always have a special place in my heart <3

I tried out for this solo in my choir concert and I'm finding out today if I got it. I'll update this, but just wanna say I don't really care if I get it or not. I don't think I'm gonna get it, but I always still try. Oh, and my choir combines Honors and Junior Honors, and when we sing together, we all sound so heavenly like omg I just wanna fly to heaven when hearing us! 😭👏🏻👏🏻 Anyway, wish me luck!!
