Title: |
Lux perpetua lucebit sanctis tuis |
|
|
Liturgical Use: |
Antiphon, Office of Martyrs in Eastertide; All Saint's Day |
Remarks: |
Though the text is officially for Eastertide, this
elegant setting by a Belgian-born contemporary of
Lassus would be especially compelling on any occasion
of memorial. After setting forth the phrase: "Eternal light will shine upon your Saints," more than half of the remainder of the piece is taken up with
an exquisite chain of alleluias. |
