The composition of Veni creator spiritus was commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and was given its first performance in the Collegiate Church in Schlägl in May 1998. The Gregorian melody is carried through in each of the four fully composed verses, roaming through all the vocal parts. In the third verse, which is reduced to three voicings, we encounter its mirror image. In verse four, ostinato groups in the “sub-choir” underpin the soprano cantus firmus. This rhythmically and harmonically diverse choral composition has meanwhile become part of the repertoire of the Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno and has been performed at many venues.
