Eternal Light (Lux Aeterna)

Patrick Wilson's foray into classical music continues with this delightful new release. Originally composed for a short film tribute to the victims of the London bombings on 7/7 (by London filmaker Kathy Hill), this video features the exceptional voices of Renata Jonscher, and the well-known tenor Neil Jenkins.
Directed by Jai Michael of Coverdrive Productions it was filmed in the stunningly beautiful chapel at Lancing College (which, incidentally has the second highest church roof in the UK, after Westminster Abbey). 

'Eternal Light' delivered one of the highest ever votes in the history of Classic FMTV's 'Most Wanted Video' competition.

It was shot in the chapel at Lancing College in Sussex, UK.

Btw here are the lyrics, if anyone wants a translation:

Lux Aeterna luceat eis Domine

Quia pius es

Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine

Et lux perpetua luceat eis

(Let everlasting light shine on them O Lord)

(For Thou art merciful)

(Grant them eternal rest O Lord) (And let perpetual light shine upon them)

So peaceful & so sublime... I could listen to this over and over again and never get tired of it..

This is undoubtedly my favourite slow classical , of all time , it s rythmic flow seems to go with my own biorythms, i love the voices of Jenkins + renata, im not sure about Fensui but this ought to be part of their arsenal, love it ---- Super intellect../Fred

Sublime!!!!

[AFIforcutie]

@OlDoinyo It's part of a full Requiem. It's certainly a less popular piece of the full "Requiem for a Dream". It's the ballad following the more fully orchestrated piece of Lux Aeterna.

Stunningly Beautiful, moving track

[OlDoinyo]

Beautiful music and classy presentation.

-Is this a stand-alone piece or part of a full Requiem?

-Who are the trebles?

Where is this video shot ?

I am sure I've seen this place used for similar.

Probably just good production but the acoustics seem to match the space they are singing in
