Lux Aurumque is an interesting piece and a bitch to perform and keep in tune. Stretches the range of about every part. I have performed it with mixed chorus and male chorus, the latter was the real challenge.

I don't see how that is possible. Have castrates made a comeback?

Obviously it has been transposed and rearranged... Nowhere near as good in the all male incarnation.

I rather like Mr. Whitacre and his music.  This was an interesting experiment:

That was delightful. I have one of his discs and enjoy the music a good deal. I see that elsewhere on the site he is being trashed and bracketed with Carl Davis.

Whitacre is a good deal more ambitious and is much more interesting harmonically and in the vocal technique he requires.
