Traditional Gregorian chant - Veni Creator Spiritus

[avginkel]

This hymn is from appr. the year 860 (!) and is one of the oldest Gregorian hymns in existence.

[treebee2]

this must be what Heaven sounds like... takes me back to my childhood.. thank you :-)

[brggrl]

la musica che troveremo in paradiso

[Hudak0581]

So beautiful! Especially with the organist playing!

[blueyes32714]

Awesome. Great composition. Plus, the priest was facing God for the Consecration. Had to be a stretch to find that. :-)

[TheProudAmerican777]

Catholic Tradition:

Ain't nothin like the real thing baby

[rintoo25]

it reminds me of my conformation just last year-Hans, Php

[sue200012]

This is so beautiful to me. What is it about Latin, especially with men singing?

[theresao1965]

Very nice. Takes me back to my Confirmation day many years ago.

[MrRaprap13]

The Song is very solemn

[ballaghadereen]

Sublime!

[Plastikmanify]

troppo veloce

[TurboVW2004]

@Plastikmanify this speed is appropriate.

Non e' troppo veloce, la veloce e' abbastanza nel caso di questa scola Gregoriana, perche' questo inno sarebbe suonato lentissimo senza la forza e la profondita del coro. Benche, se quell'inno e' cantato da solo, questo veloce qui e' troppo.

J'ai écouté le Veni Cretor chanté à Notre-Dame de Paris. Il est plus lent.

Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est une hymne vraiment magnifique.

[jeff62rey]

Indeed it comes from heaven, for it has already been shown that this beautiful Gregorian chant is directly descended from the Temple chant prescribed by our Lord in the Old Testament, the chant that would have been used to accompany the psalms for example. Glory to God in the highest!

[edup12]

Veni, Creator Spíritus,

mentes tuórum visita,

imple supérna grátia,

quae tu creásti péctora.

[edup12]

Qui díceris Paráclitus,

altíssimi donum Dei,

fons vivus, ignis, cáritas,

et spiritális únctio. Tu septifórmis múnere,

dígitus paternae déxterae,

tu rite promíssum Patris,

sermóne ditans gúttura.

[edup12]

Accénde lumen sénsibus;

infunde amórem córdibus,

infírma nostri córporis

virtúte firmans pérpeti. Hostem repéllas lóngius,

pacémque dones prótinus;

ductóre sic te praevio

vitemus omne noxium.

[edup12]

Per te sciámus da Patrem,

noscamus atque Filium;

teque utriúsque Spíritum

credamus omni témpore. Deo Patri sit glória,

et Fillio, qui a mórtuis

surréxit, ac Paráclito,

in saeculórum saecula. Amem.

Agree with the comments about the organ accompaniment for the most part except that I would eliminate the upper flute and add a Bourdon 16' to soften the overall accompaniment and add some depth at the lower end. A little too much lead voice still coming out of the organ. Chant always sounds better with discreet, blended organ support tone.

[jajayi]

In the hands of a skilled organist, the organ enhances and accentuates the human voice that is the original instrument of the Gregorian chants and other canticles sung in the church. When the organ dominates instead of accompany the human voice, the "organist" is not but a keyboardist. In this Veni Creator Spritus, the organist perfectly accompanied the voices and enhanced the chant hence it surely invokes the presence of  The Creative Spirit. The Organ plays a major role in divine worship.

[Documetum]

I fully agree with your comments and I love the way you explained in your ideal choice of words. Thank you so much.

[SanLUZARDO]

After not even hearing organ anymore it is a welcome companion to the Gregorian Chant...May they both flourish to all parishes..We miss it

[rumpranger65]

I don't like it as much with organ, but its still nice.

[PiedPuyper]

Regarding accompaniment of gregorian chant, yes, it is still Gregorian chant.

Read psalm 150, if you have any doubts about using musical instruments for praising God.

[olibxl]

C'est en chantant ce Veni Creator que les Bienheureuses Carmélites de Compiègne ont été guillotinées sous la Terreur. Bienheureuses Carmélites de Compiègne, priez pour nous.

[dj88live]

bellissimo ed emozionante ...è un canto fantastico

[gangasinth]

God Bless the Team who sang this hymn

[robpok]

Good luck finding a priest who sill sit down and spend time talking to you. Many of the ones I know will just refer you to the director of the RCIA program.

This is a beautiful recording!

[okamilune]

in that case i feel blest, because my priest talked to me. helps me alot. and that was before i became the church organist!

[qklq42]

This music comes right from heaven.

Hans NL

[Qbears]

indeed it does!

† veni creator spiritus †

[sharbel23]

@qklq42

I agree totally, I think the Holy Spirit inspired this so much so that it conveys a sense of His sublime peace, joy, tranquility and love.

[avginkel]

@qklq42 

[SanLUZARDO]

Heavenly...I hope it spreads to parishes worldwide...People love it and it was so hastily disregarded..It IS relevant today..It is Catholic and where more appropriate to hear it at Mass..Everyone should request it from their Priest and restart the movement..

[avginkel]

@SanLUZARDO Totally agree.

[avginkel]

@SanLUZARDO totally agree

[m0bob]

@SanLUZARDO We also sing plainsong in Anglican Churches.

[ElJibaroBravo]

Is it still Gregorian if there is an organ accompaniment?

It still sounds beautiful, it's just obviously not accapella.

[FightwithDream]

I don't think it is a Gregorian Chant if there is accompaniment.

[LatinoXandY]

he wont regrett it!

alleluia!!!

God bless everyone!

[broadleygreen]

You can go and talk to a priest. You don´t have to commit to anything but you could learn something good.

I have never regretted converting!

[kikybdg]

i am a moslem, but yday i sang it with the choir at the cathedral here.. and i was moved :)

[broadleygreen]

Are you moved enough to become a catholic?

[kikybdg]

i don't know... not yet maybe...

[gregrudd]

I suggest you need to pray and meditate a lot over this. If you feel that God is guiding you down this path you should seek the guidance of a priest to help discern God's plan for you.

[AndrEwsskon]

i think you should talk to a priest,

[dj88live]

bravisssssssssssssssssssssimi

[vocalist70]

ChantCD com has it for sale.

[ayalexis]

[KarolD93]

[lensuzio]

Beautiful! Thanks for the video.
