O Light Divine, Jonathan Thomas Madden (b.1998)

Composed in 2024 by Jonathan Madden for the Christ Church/Eastman Schola Cantorum and conducted here by the composer who is also an assistant director of the Schola. O Light Divine reimagines Philipp Nicolai's 16th-century melody "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern" (often dubbed the "Queen of Chorales"). Beginning in a quiet glow, the "A" section the choral alternates between homophony and aleatoric passages. The "B" phrase of the choral unites the choir in a powerful octave, sending the piece towards its full, beaming ending. O Light Divine sets two English texts translated by prominent hymn-writer Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878). Sackbuts double the lower choral parts in the final section. Charles Francis, organist.
