This pensive song will showcase a choirs musicianship as it calls for a full dynamic range. Never settle for the dynamics that are written in music. Explore each measure with different dynamics such as crescendo, diminuendo, and messa di voce until the musicianship of your ensemble is fully developed. Don't settle for being note readers - be musicians! Pay close attention to the tempo your conductor sets and keep the pulse moving. Building momentum in the B-section (m. 13) will allow the tenors to soar to their upper range. The end of the piece can be a challenge as you sing softer and softer yet also sustain long notes. Practice your singer's breath each day to build up endurance to successfully fade while staying in tune. The piece was originally written a cappella, yet an accompaniment has been added to assist the voices if that option is best for the singers. Translation: Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine; Light eternal shine on them Lord quia pius es. On the holy ones. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine; Eternal rest grant them, Lord et lux perpetua luceat eis and perpetual light upon them Pure vowels are paramount when blending your voices together. There are only five pure vowels sounds that should be utilized when performing this piece. Latin vowels are pronounced as follows a=ah e=eh i=ee o=oh u=oo ae = eh The following are some exercises to help the Tenor 1 and 2 with the dissonance:    .
