Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna – Ticketed Event

Celebrate Mother’s Day 2018 with the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir’s performance highlighting Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna

ORYC is proud to present this exciting and reflective work by American composer, Morten Lauridsen, in honour of his mother and fitting for this Mother’s Day concert. The concert will feature Organist, Shawn Potter.

“…Lauridsen composed the requiem Lux Aeterna in 1997, the year his mother died. She was the “muse” who introduced him to music, playing swing jazz and singing to him as a toddler. She also taught him to play the piano. The consolation for grief offered by Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna is often compared to that of Fauré’s Requiem and Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem, both works inspired by the deaths of the composers’ mothers. These works also have in common a deceptive simplicity, yet their capacity to touch the listener reveals mastery at expressing through music the depth of human emotion.” – Carol Talbeck
