Veni Creator Spiritus
Timothy C. Takach
a cappella TTBB

Sacred
Listen to a sample (performed by Cantus)

$1.00 per copy

Notes:
This piece is an invocation in a neo-Renaissance style. Each voice has it's share of melodic material as well as supporting harmonic material. The voice leading is simple, but is used to great effect in warm harmonies and singable phrases. This piece has been done well by high school groups and collegiate ensembles alike.

Text:
Veni, Creator Spiritus,
mentes tuorum visita,
imple superna gratia
quae tu creasti pectora.

Gloria Patri et Filio,
Natoque qui a mortuis
surrexit, ac Paraclito,
in saeculorum saecula.
Amen.
attr. Rabanus Maurus

Translation:
Come, Creator Spirit,
visit the minds of your own people,
fill with grace from above
the hearts that you have created.

Glory be to the Father and also to the Son,
begotten, who from the dead
has risen, and to the Comforter Holy Spirit,
for ages upon ages.
Amen.
trans. Anne Groton
