Tim Glemser - O Nata Lux. A Solo Piano Christmas (2014)

The title of this Christmas album is derived from the Latin text O nata lux de lumine, which translates to O Light born of light. From the opening notes of “A Joyful Noel” to the gentle ending of “The Nativity,” this peaceful album is the perfect way to invite the true spirit of Christmas into your home. Includes arrangements of traditional carols and two original compositions.

"Every time I sat at the piano to start arrangements of Christmas music for this album, my mind kept taking me back to the beautiful religious hymns and songs that I’ve grown to cherish throughout my life. Songs that witness of the most important part of the season, the real reason we celebrate Christmas—the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. The more I practiced, the more I kept feeling a pull to it, to express my gratitude through this music to Him whom I owe everything. I could not be who I am without His sacrifice. The title of this album, O Nata Lux, is derived from the Latin text O nata lux de lumine, which is translated as “O Light born of light.” So with this music I share with you my love for the Lord, the Son of God, the Light of the world. I wish you all peace and joy this and every Christmas season!"
