back again. It is accompanied by piano and
is certain to become a favorite.

Lucis Creator optime—Marques L. A.
Garrett. With music loosely based on the
spiritual Let the Heaven Light Shine on Me
and a traditional Latin text by St. Gregory
the Great, this illuminating work is about
the creation of light. A percussive drive
accompanies elongated chant melody
and lush a cappella harmonies that layer
and eventually become aleatoric. It's a
stunning and challenging selection for more
advanced choirs.

Lux Aeterna—Tim Winebrenner. Meaning
"light eternal," this pensive setting of
the Latin text affords choirs musical
development of dynamic colors, range,
and musicianship. With conservative

modern harmonies and musicality in an
accessible setting.

Lux Aeterna (from "Requiem")—Michael
John Trotta. Incorporating elements of the
ancient and the modern, this stunning a
cappella original presents a lush harmonic
palette with tight cluster harmonies and
a statement of the Requiem chant tune.
The peaceful, luminous quality of the work
contrasts beautifully with the driving and
rhythmic Dies Irae, both extracted from
Trotta's larger work "Requiem." A beautiful
choice for concerts and services.
