Ed has written a cantor, choir, and assembly-friendly setting of the Sequence for Pentecost using the approved text from The Roman Missal. The stepwise motion of the lyrical melody facilitates a quick learn. The piece begins in D major for the first four verses, modulates to E for the next three verses, moves to F for verses 8 and 9, and concludes with the final verse in G. The interval relationships are the same with each modulation, highlighti ng the words and adding a sense of urgency. The octavo includes a keyboard part, but you will note that this can be performed with just a simple guitar accompaniment. And, guitar pages are included in the octavo.

Matsushita has conceived his setting of the Pentecost sequence entirely in the Renaissance polychoral tradition. He employs the full choir (within individual choirs divisi passages also occasionally occur) solely for magnificent sounding climaxes at conclusions, prior to these occurrences he repeatedly combines groups of voices or he allows individual choirs to sing, effectively, in alternation. This type of reduction is even carried over to quasi Gregorian passages sung by one voice in unison. The piece is tonal throughout, with occasional diatonic seasoning. The consistently homophonic setting is oriented towards the declamation of the Latin text. Melodically it is in the style of modal, Gregorian structures, without quoting the well-known sequence. A fast, rhythmically syncopated declamatory section introduces, the dramaturgically appropriate climax to the solemn conclusion, which, molto legato, returns once again with large upward swings to the text of the first strophe. Matsushita writes in a comfortable vocal range so that the work can be sung, at the same time, in both a relaxed and grandiose manner. For large choirs, even for oratorio choirs with only limited experience in a cappella singing, this piece is aptly suited for performance and the music is both grateful and brings much joy for singers.

Ever-creative Orlando-based composer Bob Schaefer has penned this original music for the poetic English ranslation of the Pentecost Sequence. Men and women of the choir alternate the first two musical sentences and are joined by the assembly on the last phrase of each verse. With this simple four-part vocal texture, Bob continues to compose sensible, practicable music that fills a liturgical need. You will find yourself coming back to his writing time and again.

Peter Kolar’s “Veni, Sancte Spiritus” is an exhilarating processional anthem for Pentecost or confirmation liturgies. It features driving orchestral percussion, an exuberant shout chorus, and a recurring woodwind theme inspired by the soundtrack to The Mission. In the spirit of Pentecost, the piece is multilingual and multi-stylistic, with lyrics in English, Spanish, Filipino and Latin. The piece even offers an optional call-and-response refrain for assembles to learn its multilingual text. “Veni, Sancte Spiritus” was composed for and premiered at the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM) 2022 National Convention. Hearts will surely be enflamed with the Spirit upon experiencing this powerful work! .
