After musical training in Naples Niccolo Jommelli began to make his name as an opera composer from the end of the 1730ies onwards. From 1750 until 1753 he was assistant director of music at St. Peter's, Rome, and responsible for the music at the Cappella Giulia - years which were decisive for Jommelli's sacred music. During those years he also composed the three-movement setting of the Whitsun hymn Veni Creator Spiritus for solo soprano, mixed-voice choir, string orchestra and continuo. It is marked by the maturity of the writing for the solo voice, modelled on the example of composers such as Johann Adolf Hasse, and by stylistic hallmarks of Jommelli's music, such as his relatively simple yet highly effective choral writing. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4041800.

For the Pueri Cantores choral series, Keith Kalemba has crafted this fine choral arrangement of the timeless and beautiful chant Veni, Creator Spiritus. It was originally commissioned as a three-part piece for men's choir, but is presented here in Latin and English for any three-part choir, whether youth, women or men's voices. The ancient poetic images are skillfully evoked as the chant melody weaves effortlessly through the vocal parts.

Jeff Reyolds has arranged a beautiful setting of the Saint-Saens Veni Creator Spiritus (Come Creator Spirit, a 9th Century Pentecost plainsong hymn) for 4-part Trombone Ensemble. The original work for TTBB men's chorus and optional Organ was written in 1858. Saint-Saens was a Roman Catholic Church organist in his early years and produced a volume of music that was easy to sing.
Mr. Reynolds calls this music Church Polyphonic style that came out of the late Renaissance and endured for a couple centuries into the Romantic period.
This work begins with a beautiful unison chant and moves into four polyphony sections concluding with a soft Amen.
The music is of moderate difficulty with the first part in tenor clef.

Wolfram Buchenberg structured his setting of the Veni creator Spiritus as an urgent and powerful invitation to the creative spirit. The frequent reprises of this line of text, like a motto, are contrasted with passages of great stillness interspersed with rests. The vitality of God's spirit is finally expressed in a section which draws its inner dynamic from the interplay of different phrase lengths between the melody and accompaniment.
