About the Score

c4ensemble · O Nata Lux

I was first drawn to this text because of its rich imagery, in particular the image of the birth or creation of light. Liturgically, the O nata lux hymn was assigned to be sung at Lauds, the Office of Aurora or Dawn, during the Feast of the Transfiguration. This is fitting as Lauds took place at daybreak, as the sun rose first thing in the morning. My piece embraces the origins of this hymn as part of the Gregorian tradition, with simple, forward-moving, chant-like phrases and the motive of an open fifth. Lower voices crawl upward from the low extremes of their range, emerging from the dark depths into the glow. The piece ends with a final ascent, supplicating.
