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.

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.
