This work is based on the Christian religion: "Lux Aeterna" ( with string accompaniment), where the mystery of eternal life is evoked but also questioned. Ghent Singers and Ataneres Ensemble conducted by Joris Derder.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine:
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum: quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis.
