Veni Emmanuel

Rolling triplets prepare the entrance of an evocative theme in minor, creating a sense of longing in this "prayer become song." Simply presented in the voices, the anthem is easy to prepare but offers much expressive potential in its artful textures and melodic contours. Incorporating the tune ST. AMBROSE, the music is beautifully matched with the beckoning nature of the text to create a lovely Advent moment. Precious!
