Began on April 7 and completed mid-May of 2020 (while in quarantine) Lux Aeterna: In Memoriam CoVid 19 Victims (for a cappella choir) was composed in hopes of pacifying the stresses, aches and pains that we have collectively undergone thus far, and continue - yet still - to grapple with in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, globally. While in lockdown in New York City, I began recording the vocal parts in my home studio. This recorded video-version is slightly different from the original concept in mind, which is supposed to be airy and angelic sounding; here, the piece sounds a little more like a musical passage out of a chamber rock opera. Does Meatloaf ring a bell? This rendition contains all live vocal parts in all its glorious humanistic qualities (ehhemmm... "imperfections").
