Kerry Andrew: O Nata Lux

The Voces8 U.S. Scholars perform Kerry Andrew’s mesmerizing “O Nata Lux,” taken from the larger work Dusk Songs. The composer said, “I’ve always been interested in the idea that for many centuries, Christianity was preached in an oblique language to most people, and so I combine Latin and English here, with the latter acting as an emerging translation. I’m also influenced by the pentatonic overlapping phrases of the Central African Baka people for the sopranos’ layered texture.” Enjoy!

‘O Nata Lux’ is ©2006 by Kerry Andrew and is officially licensed and reproduced here with kind permission of the composer. Find this score and others at Kerry Andrew’s website.
