Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Upon reading
Edward Esch's poem Light and Gold, composer Eric
Whitacre was immediately struck by its genuine,
elegant simplicity. He asked the celebrated
American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri to translate
it into Latin for this seminal work for mixed choir
a cappella. A simple approach was essential to
the success of the work, and Whitacre waited
patiently for the tight harmonies to shimmer and
glow, weaving a rich choral tapestry of light and
the soft singing of angels for the newborn child. A
Christmas text, but the effect is timeless.

stanza, including some divisi. The supportive
piano accompaniment and occasional a cappella
moments serve to underscore the quiet. A lovely
seasonal selection for worship or concert.

terrific hook that will have your audience asking for
an encore!
