Composer NotesDuring the Easter vigil liturgy, newly baptized adults and those who are being received into the Church are confirmed. During this rite, the priest and other ministers first lay hands on them. Then they are anointed with the oil of chrism. While this ritual is taking place it is appropriate to sing a hymn of the Holy Spirit. Traditionally this has been the “Veni Creator Spiritus.” Send Us Your Spirit, which is based on another Gregorian hymn, the “Veni Sancte Spiritus,” is presented here as an alternative to accompany this ritual.

The piece has four verses in typical hymn form. As with any hymn, the challenge is to vary each verse in terms of choral and instrumental arrangement. One way of achieving this is to have just women sing on verse one, just men on verse two, and then bring in the mixed choral parts on the final verses. The same technique can be used with the ensemble instruments and accompaniment.
