of ancestral gods
leaving 'aux' out, I can only say that 'lares' in latin are the ancestral gods who were supposed to protect the family. This is genitive plural, 'larum', while 'que' means 'as well'. Hence, it would mean 'of the ancestral gods as well', 'and of the ancestral fathers'. I am really sorry I can't be of more help with aux; I wonder whether there was a typo/mistake of some sort, as 'aux' seems more like French than Latin. I will keep looking but I fear I can promise nothing.

lux aurumque = light and gold
thank you for letting me know: 'lux aurumque' makes definitely more sense; it means 'Light and Gold' whereby they are both nouns. They are certainly not adjectives, as the translation given on the flyer suggests. More important,although 'Light' can be seen as 'light, warm and soft', I don't think we can say the same about 'Gold'. The closest I could get is something like 'the brightness / gleam of (morning or day) light'. I do hope this makes more sense with regard to the music - the ancestral gods having been left out.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again.
