Stairwell Carollers live, in concert - Eric Whitacre's Lux aurumque - YouTube

The Stairwell Carollers in concert, Spring 2017

Ottawa choir, The Stairwell Carollers, perform Lux aurumque, written by Eric Whitacre.

"Such an ethereal, mystical and awesome piece of music -- and we got to sing it! I have to tell you that you go into a different plane of existence while singing music like this. It carries you away and you have to use a certain amount of focus to not be literally carried away and forget where you are . It's almost meditative.

One of my favourites to sing. Thank you Eric Whitacre!"
