Veni, Spiritus

The invocation of “Come, Holy Spirit” drives this energetic choral concept forward with a motive of praise. This prayer forms a rhythmic foundation; from there, a “call and response” format delivers a series of effective images of the Spirit's ministry among us. A contrasting chorale-styled middle section is a sonic sorbet between statements of the main theme. A final declaration, and the anthem ends with affirming confidence.
