Lux Aeterna... Lux Aeterna by who?
that's a text that has literally been set to music by hundreds of composers.
in case you didn't know: "Lux Aeterna" is a section of the Requiem mass (mass for the dead). It means "eternal light" (lux aeterna luceat eis Domine - let eternal light shine upon them, o Lord).

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
