Composed in Boston in 1981, when I was a Fulbright student, the work is based on the liturgical text for the Liturgy of the deceased, using the Antiphon I and the Antiphon II.
The music is partly reminiscent of Ligeti's "Lux aeterna", but blended with declamations in the style of Gregorian chant in the first part, and with pedal tones amidst increasingly open chords in the second part.
