Music Monday: Lux Aeterna

Returning once again to classical music, today’s selection is one of the most stirring renditions I’ve heard of Edward Elgar’s “Lux Aeterna”, performed by the VOCES8:

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, with Thy saints forever, for Thou art kind.

Requiem aeternam
Eternal rest

dona eis, Domine,
give to them, O Lord,

et lux perpetua luceat eis.
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
