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.

Grea
tly admiring the poetry
of Christina Rossetti,
and in particular the
elegance and poignancy of
her sonnet 'An Echo from
Willow-Wood', the
composer initially wrote
this work as the second
of a group of three
anthems entitled
Echoes from Willow
Wood, exploring
aspects of hope and
despair in love. These
are indeed powerful
themes throughout
Rossetti's oeuvre, and
there was a strong
creative tension here
with another text
selected for the
collection, her much
anthologised 'A
Birthday', which is
brimming with hope and
joy at the prospect of
love. By contrast, in
On Life's Dividing
Sea the poet tugs
vainly at the
heart-strings of hope and
concludes in dejection.
Taking its title from
line 8 of the poem, the
setting focuses on
imagery of the sea, an
emblem which inspired
many of the textures of
the central section.
Cluster chords, more
lyrical gestures, and
suggestions of
quasi-Purcellian cadences
convey a message of
youthful, innocent desire
being torn apart, while
maintaining Rossetti's
poised Victorian turn of
phrase.
