Whitacre's Lux Aurumque is full of two consonant tones sounded simultaneous, called Dyads.
Eric Whitacre wrote the choir piece Lux Aurumque, which has just one movement. It is a holiday composition that was inspired by the Latin poem of the same name, which reads, "Light, warm and weighty as pure gold, and the angels sing softly to the newborn infant." Whitacre composed a cappella mixed choir piece in 2000 using a brief Latin text.
Whitacre's music has come to be known for its use of "chord clusters," which are chromatic chords that have an almost shimmering look. Nearly all of his choral compositions, such as Lux Aurumque, Sleep, and A Boy and a Girl, feature them.
