Lux Aurumque

This is one of my favorite Christmas choral pieces, here performed by the choir of King's College Cambridge.  It is by my favorite 20th-21st century choral composers, Eric Whitacre.  These are the lyrics and their translation:


Latin Lyrics:

Lux,
calida gravisque pura velut aurum
et canunt angeli molliter
modo natum. 

English Lyrics:

Light,
warm and heavy as pure gold
and the angels sing softly
to the new-born baby.

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
