Stirring, intense and vibrant are just a few words to describe this exploration of the theme of light. Time and again composers have returned to the subject and director Timothy Brown has chosen some of the best for this collection. Each piece paints a picture not only with text but with evocative, often soaring melodies. Some of the finest are "Bring us, O Lord God," by William Harris, "O nata lux," by famed composer Thomas Tallis, "Nyinye otpushchayeshi" by Sergei Rachmaninov, and "Nunc Dimittis" by Josquin Desprez. Also of note is a fine piece composed by John Rutter dubbed "Hymn to the Creator of Light." This is a skilled performance from an excellent choir. (76:08 1999)
