Lux aeterna

Album by Morten Lauridsen & Polyphony & Britten Sinfonia & Stephen Layton

Lux Aeterna is a choral composition by American composer Morten Lauridsen, completed in 1997. Scored for mixed a cappella chorus, it is characterised by luminous, sustained harmonies, modal-inflected melodies and slow, contemplative pacing that reflect Lauridsen's mature sacred-music style and situate the work within contemporary American choral repertoire.
