Beskrivning

for SSATB unaccompaniedThis 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.

Since 1995 he has focused on the composition and performance of his own choral and orchestral works, which have been premiered at numerous venues and festivals across Europe.

Recensioner i media

Harrap's approach is more innovative [than David Jepson's Befriend me] musically and in his treatment of the text, where the 'Veni Creator Spiritus' hymn is sung by tenors to the familiar plainchant (although starting at a different pitch for each verse), whilst SSABB sing a passage as if in commentary from John Donne's 'A Litany'. The dramatic setting of the Donne contrasts with the plainchant, although all come together for a final Amen in a radiant F sharp major.
