This is an innovative yet accessible setting of the well-known Vespers hymn. A meditative rendering of the familiar plainchant is nestled within a lyrical setting of a verse from John Donne's A Litany making for an intriguing narrative juxtaposition. With unusual harmonic shifts dynamic contrasts and rhythmic interest this motet is sure to maintain the attention of both choir and listener from beginning to end. Veni Creator Spiritus is particularly suitable for Pentecost and other celebrations of the Holy Spirit but can be used throughout the church year.Stephen HarrapStephen Harrap was born in Portsmouth in1952 and studied at the London Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the London Opera Centre.
