I sometimes get Elgar’s “Nimrod” variation in my head on a walk. It is NOT a good tune for walking … I get slower and slower as I go. But it is an amazing variation from his Enigma Variations and I love it.
Now I am enjoying this vocal version, Lux Aeterna. Good for the heart and the soul. At least my heart and soul, as I realize I can’t speak for everyone.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam
dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, with Thy saints forever,
for Thou art kind.
Eternal rest
give to them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
