Discover the captivating world of ‘Lux Aeterna‘ by Clint Mansell, the famous soundtrack from Requiem for a Dream.

This page offers you a complete immersion into this iconic work with sheet music, MIDI files, tutorials, and a full course.

Two Versions Available:

  • Solo Version (Progressive Arrangement): This arrangement has been designed to accompany you in your progress. The piece is based on three simple chords and a repetitive but captivating melody. With each rehearsal, the melody becomes slightly more complex, offering you a new challenge. The course begins with a very accessible version for beginners, then gradually evolves towards a rich and powerful interpretation that will even challenge advanced pianists. Beginners can stop at any time when it becomes too difficult and repeat the latest mastered version to conclude on a nice note.

  • Duo version: Share the emotional experience of “Lux Aeterna” with a partner by choosing the four-handed piano version. This arrangement, carefully worked, retains all the complexity and subtlety of the original score, ideal for collaborative performances. Each pianist will find the opportunity to explore in depth the emotional richness of the piece.
