The Gesualdo Six
Lux Aeterna
Grief touches all of us at some point during our lives, affecting each person in different ways. Byrd and Skempton beautifully capture a sense of powerlessness in their works, asking for forgiveness and protection. The pieces by Tavener, Lusitano and Morales present a series of questions, seeking reassurance for those whose lives are at an end. Settings by Schütz and Joanna Marsh call on us to enjoy all that life has to offer, with a reminder not to let grief overwhelm us. If you like, this is a sequence for the souls of the departed, to be heard by those who remember them.
