From one of the UK's bright, emerging choral composers, Rhiannon Randle, is this sublime setting of the familiar Latin text. O nata lux is a personal reflection on the compelling and timeless choral atmosphere depicted by the famous Thomas Tallis setting of these words. Dedicated to the memory of Randle's late grandmother, the work balances a sense of intimate prayer and meditation with a spiritual declamation of the “light born of light.†To see hope and new life in despair and death - for in the darkness we have seena great light - chimes as much with the season of Advent as it does with personal loss. The lilting homophony of the opening is characterised by light tenuti, intended to provide a sense of gentle ebb and flow, almost as if to accentuate the natural emphases of speech. This then broadens into a polyphonic cascade, which hints at Bruckner as much as paying homage to Tallis's own setting. O nata lux is an exciting addition to the Contemporary Choral Series, suitable for intermediate to advanced choirs looking to support and program new music by outstanding young composers.

This is a rather developed setting of the sung intercessions. The four-measure response is adapted for alternating between two-measure intentions (under which the choir sings on “ooâ€), and two-measure responses. A coda provides a repeated response a step higher.

The powerful choral setting is based on texts by the Latvian national poet Velta Toma, whose work is characterized by a decade-long stay in Canadian exile. Longing for love, family ties and a certain melancholy patriotism are also the focus of her Latvian prayer. The symphonic, full sound of the catchy choral work is also due to the division into eight voice groups. Latvian.

The effective choral setting is based on texts by the Latvian national poet Velta Toma whose works are characterized by her having lived in exile in Canada for decades. At the heart of her Latvian Prayer, too, is the yearning for love, family ties and a certain melancholy patriotism. The full symphonic sound of the catchy choral piece is not only due to the organ accompaniment, but also to the division into eight voice groupings.
