In January of 2018, Dr. Robert Natter, Director of Choral Activities at the Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College, approached me about writing a piece for their Spring 2018 Tour, he asked me to set the Lux Aeterna text, fitting with with the "Light and Darkness" part of their theme of Transitions. When I knew I was setting the Lux Aeterna text, I had decided that this needed to be a piece dedicated in memory Zach Misleh. Zach was a classmate of mine at DeMatha Catholic High School who lost his life at the age of 19, in June of 2017.
This piece is for a moderately advanced choir. Predominantly featuring a four-part to six-part split, it is more accessible than some larger, more complicated choral works. The piece shows the wide range of emotion one goes through while grieving a loved one. The text is a well-known Communion Antiphon which comes from the Requiem Mass, and was written for the Gettysburg College Choir's 2018 domestic tour.
