Often referred to by its Latin title Lumen Hilare it has been translated into English as 'Hail Gladdening Light' or 'O Gladsome/Joyous Light'.

The gladdening of the bride, in which guests dance around the bride, and can include the use of "shtick"-silly items such as signs, banners, costumes, confetti, and jump ropes made of table napkins.

'Hail Gladdening Light' and 'Ave gracia plena'both cover English church music from all periods and have been wonderfully recorded in what our reviewer JBS described in his April review as 'the kindly echoes of the Lady Chapel at Ely'.
