"Lux aeterna is eclectic and complex"
This concert program is comprised of two complementary halves. One is centered around living composer Morten Lauridsen's Lux aeterna, while the other half balances it with four separate shorter pieces spanning the century from 1879 to 1975, arranged to suggest the emotional journey through buoyant, intimate, and dancy moods.
Lauridsen's Lux aeterna is eclectic and complex, and his modernity resides mostly in frequent changes of meter, angular lines, and some spicy harmonies.
