Length, date, hooks checked out (ref for 2000 comes later; ALT1 perhaps best combination of RS and interest); good to go; but how ugly is English - mellifluosomnolent cantabile vs "singably", ugh; see extra discussion here for the translation (funny, as the poem reads "and" that the reverse translation sometimes ends up "of"), Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 03:05, 26 May 2012 (UTC) P.S. Title made me think of
 * ALT1: ... that the 2000 a cappella composition Lux Aurumque (Light and Gold) was recorded by a Virtual Choir of 185 singers from 12 countries, conducted by its composer Eric Whitacre (pictured)?
 * ALT2: ... that the 2000 a cappella composition Lux Aurumque (Light and Gold) by Eric Whitacre (pictured) has been clicked on YouTube more than three million times since 2010. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking into this light!
 * ps Title made me think of the image on my user with golden light rising to a pumpkin sky, designed first to get the editor of that name (or ps) back to contributing, and then the designer, both successfully so. - When you sing the piece, you forget the words, light prevails. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * ps The composer's article needs attention. If nothing happens until Main page appearance, I suggest to link not to his name but to section Virtual Choir instead, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:02, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
