O nata lux

    Hi there,
    does anyone know of a O nata lux for male (tenors and basses) voices? I know of the Tallis of course but I am looking for something else.
    Thanks,

    Hi there, you could look at Anna Lapwood's "O nata lux".
    It has been edited voor SATB but began as a motet for male voices...

    If you've got countertenors, the Denis Mason setting (ATBB) is quite lovely.

    There's also a lengthy setting by John Brackenborough for SSA that could probably be performed TTB (if your basses can read treble clef).

    I wrote Anna Lapwood but alas only the SATB is available. Would have loved to get the one for male voices. I don't like the Brackenborough.

    Or you can try the Tallis this way, if you have the forces.
