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.
