Lux Luceat
Publisher Desc.
Lux Luceat was commissioned by the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire Wind Symphony and conductor John R. Stewart. The phrase Lux Luceat translates from Latin as "Let the light shine." This piece embodies a sense of optimism during dark and difficult times. While an overall sense of hope prevails, there are moments in the work where harsh reality intrudes. Two up-tempo A sections bookend a reflective B section that begins with a romantic theme that is transformed into a sullen dirge. The romantic element reappears before the return of the upbeat A section. The piece concludes in a hopeful spirit with light ultimately prevailing over darkness.
