Eternal Light

Our November concert features two works where light in a metaphorical sense plays an important role: Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna and Howard Goodall’s Eternal Light. The light they talk about may be the effulgence of God’s being, but the moving, atmospheric and beautiful music they contain will illuminate the short, dark days as we approach the winter solstice. Morten Lauridson may be familiar to many via his - justifiably - immensely successful Christmas song O Magnum Mysterium. Lux Aeterna takes us once again into Lauridsen’s soundworld, identifiable from the very first chord. So if you love O Magnum Mysterium, you’ll love Lux Aeterna. Howard Goodall is perhaps best known for his prolific compositions for TV, notably the theme tune for The Vicar of Dibley. He’s also composed musical theatre and choral music. Eternal Light is an intensely moving work
