English, Latin. Text Source: Vv. Veni, veni Emmanuel, Latin, 9th c., tr. John M. Neale, 1818–1866, alt.; Translation: John Mason Neale.
Featuring three refrain text options—“Veni Jesu,†“Come, Lord Jesus†and “Maranathaâ€â€”as well as the familiar text of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,†this piece by Douglas Green would be a lovely addition to any choir’s Christmas repertoire. The piece begins with a unison tenor and bass line and then steadily adds parts until it reaches a full four-part texture. Handbells provide chords at the beginning of the piece and during the verses, but it can also be performed a cappella. For six handbells.

Kathleen Demny has crafted a sure-to-please choral piece that boasts a compelling syncopated melody in the refrain with a convincing metrical change to express the words Maranatha, Lord Jesus, come to us. The equally energetic cantor's voices verses in the relative minor conclude with an SATB call: Veni, Emmanuel that leads us back to the refrain. Adding a strummed guitar with the keyboard part would nicely complement this delightful Advent song.
