Today, Wednesday November 2nd 2022, is the Feast of All Souls.
From the Communion Antiphon of today`s Mass
"Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua leceat eis.
May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, with Thy saints forever, for Thou art Kind. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them."
"Lux Aeterna", for Chorus, after IX Nimrod (Adagio) from "The Enigma Variations", Variations on an Original Theme for Orchestra (Enigma), Op. 36, Sir Edward Elgar, (various arr.). This very beautiful piece - many will recognise the tune at least - is accompanied by video footage of the remarkable Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno in Genoa, Italy.
It is sung by The Choir of New College Oxford, Directed by Edward Higginbottom.
