Product Description
Dear Colleagues: I am pleased to present " We Will Remember Them"," Lux Aeterna." This was written shortly after our son died a few years ago of a heart condition. A good friend of his died the following Spring. In light of the many deaths due to Covid 19 and recent deaths due to violence, I wanted to make this piece available. I used one verse from "For the Fallen" by Robert Laurence Binyon which was written during World War I and also the Flu of 1918. The verse begins, "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old." Since the verse is short, I began and ended with one sentence from the Requiem Mass, Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine" May everlasting light shine upon them, O lord. This piece is written to those we have lost of all ages, but especially to those who have left us too soon.
