VOCES8 performs 'Lux Aeterna' by Edward Elgar live at the VOCES8 Centre in London.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam
dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, with Thy saints forever,
for Thou art kind.
Eternal rest
give to them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.

This fascinating programme from VOCES8 will immerse you in the swirling and undulating sounds of György Ligeti (whose centenary we celebrate this year and whose Lux Aeterna found fame in Stanley Kubrik’s 2001: Space Odyssey), Pēteris Vasks and Caroline Shaw – pieces that show off micropolyphony, extended vocal technique and abstract sounds. Set alongside this is J.S. Bach’s glorious solo violin Partita No. 2 played by Fenella Humphreys and here incorporating sung chorales, a double choir work from Charles Wood and Elgar’s Nimrod, arranged for voices as Lux Aeterna. VOCES8 welcomes the VOCES8 Scholars, violinist Fenella Humphreys and cellist Matthew Sharp, all directed by Barnaby Smith.
