The traditional Pentecost sequence is presented here in a new adaptation of Neale's classic translation. The chorus sings in English, accompanied by the piano; the assembly (with optional organ doubling) adds a simple Latin refrain ("Veni Sancte Spiritus"). The optional wind instrument plays only on the refrain.

Commissioned by Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, Roseville, MN, and dedicated to Bonita Hanson, in gratitude for her twenty-five years of faithful service as Children's Choir Director.
