Lux æterna (everlasting light), which
begins with a musical quotation from my
own Requiem before the word “light” (as, previously,
“why”) is sung in various languages.
This moves into the children singing a school
assembly hymn If I Were a Beautiful Twinkling
Star (reminiscent of All Things Bright and Beautiful)
before continuing with “light” in Latin,
English and Welsh. The orchestra concludes
the piece not in pomp and ceremony but
rather with a glistening orchestration of
celesta, glockenspiel and various bells to
depict “light”, the word which, quietly spoken
by the children and sung by the soprano,
brings the piece to a close.
