Veni Creator Spiritus
Each work on this album is based in some way on the ancient chant Veni creator spiritus (“Come, creator spirit”), which is found in the liturgy of the early church for Pentecost. The first written references appear in the tenth-century manuscripts of the Roman rite. The text has be attributed to various sources, including St. Gregory, St. Ambrose, and the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. The distinctive melody appears to have been used prior to this time and appears with different texts in the Ambrosian and Sarum rites.
