David Adam Smith Lux Aeterna

:

I first heard the piece in 2009 at Holy Innocents Church in Manhattan on All Souls' Day. The liturgy of the Tridentine Mass, priests in black vestments, and the soothing Lux Aeterna written for the victims of 911, beautifully sung by the church choir and conducted by the composer left me extremely touched. A fitting tribute for all who perished on 911.
