LUX AETERNA/ Morten Lauridsen/ Choral Works [mp3]

Lux Aeterna
Los Angeles Master Chorale
Choral works by Morten Lauridsen

I have included Lauridson�s Lux Aeterna in a previous post. But this is the complete disc from my collection. Once upon a time I walked into the house, the radio was turned on, and I heard this glorious sound of angels all around. I sank back into a chair, weak at the knees, and was enveloped by the sheer beauty; every hair standing on end. This was the pure rapture of human voices lifting the soul.

Referring to Lauridsen’s sacred music, the musicologist and conductor Nick Strimple said he was "the only American composer in history who can be called a mystic, (whose) probing, serene work contains an elusive and indefinable ingredient which leaves the impression that all the questions have been answered. From 1993 Lauridsen’s music rapidly increased in international popularity, and by century’s end he had eclipsed Randall Thompson as the most frequently performed American choral composer

In the 2009 movie Angels & Demons film composer Hans Zimmer incorporated the Introitus opening of Lux Aeterna for the final scene.

This is a real treat!
Having owned "Lux Aeterna" from February (thanks to you!),
I’ve tickled my ears many times listening to this ethereal music.
