Commissioned by the Texas Music Educators Association for their 2005 All-State Band, <i>Lux Aurumque</i> is an extraordinarily lush and poignant adaptation of one of Eric Whitacre's most popular choral works. Gorgeous, simpletriads melt from one beautiful chord to the next, creating a slowly evolving wash of colors and light. Elegantly orchestrated by the composer, <i>Lux Aurumque</i> is a profoundly moving experience for players and audiences alike.(Grade 4) (5:30)
