SKU: PL.0709

Composed by Robert J. Powell. Choral, Chant, Hymn, Pentecost. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0709. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0709).

* based on the chant "Veni creator spiritus", with organ and flute * choir begins with four-part a cappella setting reminiscent of Durufle * each verse has a different voicing with a nicely contrasting organ part * could be used as an introduction to chant as well as a study in legato and rhythm * could be used as an introit or anthem for Pentecost, or as an introduction to the hymn

A flute part is included on the back cover and primarily consists of flowing eighth notes. The music moves into various meters such as 15/8, 11/8 to help accentuate the flowing style; however, it is not difficult. The organ part, on two staves, doubles the voices in places that often have a chant-like texture. Lovely music. - "The Diapason" April 2007.
