Come, Holy Spirit (for chorus SATB)

This video features my setting of Veni Sancte Spiritus, the famous sequence sung during the celebration of Pentecost. I have chosen to use an English translation of the original Latin text in order to more immediately communicate the power and very personal quality of the message. The work is for unaccompanied SATB choir, with moments of divisi for all parts.
The recording is by Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir Virtual Singers, directed by Clifford W. King; the beautiful photos seen at the beginning and the end are by Marek Piwnicki on Unsplash.
