Program Notes

The text for the hymn Veni, Veni Emmanuel first appears in the eighteenth century in the Psalteriolum Cantionum Catholicarum (Cologne 1710). It is based on the much older “O” Antiphons which have their ori-gins in the ninth century. When the anti-phons are placed in the reverse chronologi-cal order, the first letter (after the “O”) forms

the acrostic ERO CRAS, literally “tomorrow, I will be” translated here as “I will come!” This piece was conceived as a dialogue between the supplicants and the creator, a combination of old and new, juxtaposing a personal longing for something still to come, with the steadfast assurance of something ever-present, yet not always seen. While the original theme is associated with the Christmas season, the wider theme of longing for something greater is universal to the human condition and allows this piece to be programed throughout the year. While the tune used is a variant of the original chant tune based on my childhood memory of the singing the melody that is true to my experience, the existence of the third scale degree in the choral ostinato ensures that the tune’s familiar contour will be instantly recognized.

The “O” Antiphons December 23: O Emmanuel (O With Us is God)December 22: O Rex Gentium (O King of the nations)December 21: O Oriens (O MorningStar)December 20: O Clavis David (O Key of David)

Optional Introduction:The director may wish to use a cascading handbell and wind-chimes introduction using the following notes repeated at random for ca.10 seconds ending with F≥ and C≥, this can easily be followed by the chant incipit from which the rest of the work can continue as notated. When handbells are not available, the piece may start with the chant or begin as notated.
