Lux Aeterna

Writing This Piece

This setting of “Lux Aeterna” was written for the senior choir of Metropolitan United Church in London, Ontario, Canada. I started to write it in 2019, but then the events of 2020 begin. As a result this setting is to commemorate the lives of all the people who were lost to the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic. The piece was used for “The Lux Aeterna Project” which brought together singers from Metropolitan United Church Senior Choir, The St. Thomas Youth Choir, Choral Connection in St. Thomas, and students of Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts in a virtual choir recording. Singers sent in their individually recorded parts which were combined into a single recording and broadcast on the radio as a part of the June 2020 Father’s Day Sunday Service at Metropolitan.
