第七樂章 Lux Aeterna 永恆之光 女高音 / 徐瑞璘 領主曲（Communion) 為安魂曲中慣常出現的篇章，可稱為永恆之光。 開頭女高音獨唱以純潔的歌聲詠讚，彷彿天使告訴人們，逝者已經從勞苦中 得到安息；合唱而後加入詠讚的行列，鋼琴的交替持續音如同光影交錯與流 動。第二段拍號轉變為三拍，合唱由女高音齊唱引領而出，採用了葛利果聖 歌之曲調，純潔安詳；各聲部漸次加入，堆疊出豐滿而不斷變化的和聲聲響。 最後曲子回到第一樂章的主題，象徵賜給他們永恆的安息，讓永恆的光芒照耀他們

7. LUX AETERNA
I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord,
For they rest from their labors; even so saith the Spirit.
Lux aeterna luceat eis Domine:
Light eternal shine upon them, Lord, we pray:
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
With saints and angels ever dwelling,
for thy mercy’s sake, may they rest in pius.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine:
Grant them rest eternal, Lord our God,
We pray to thee:
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
And light perpetual shine on them for ever.
