And Morten has what to do with Mozart or great artists being overshadowed by twits in their lifetimes? pfffft. I think it'd be cool to revive some Shelley for music. but that's just me. Course that's english. I don't speak french. but I like the accent. And I'd like to visit Paris. Both lousy reasons to use the language in a song.

Dang. I thought you meant Ligeti's eponymous choral work.

Ooo-- checking in to say goodbye- and haven't time to read all the wonderful posts- but I can't let this go-! Prevaricator???!!!! Ha! The initial piece - and the one from which the title of the CD is taken- is Lux Aeterna- and is very much a part of a traditional requiem mass. Lauridsen took several other liturgical texts (one I remember was from a Te Deum) that reference light (lux) and sandwiched them between the Requiem Introitus and Agnus Dei. Enough of a Requiem for me. The French pieces are lighter and more fun. The Dirait-on is lovely-sort of a canon- and is my favorite too of the French pieces. When they break into the choral part after the unison first verse, it is goosebump time.
