Vernacular Hymn for Pentecost -in Public Domain: help, please
-
Before the Vidi Aquam on Pentecost Sunday, we sing Veni Creator Spiritus, and before that we have sung, in the past, Come Holy Ghost, in English.
That seems like gilding the lily to me, so I thought I might branch out. I had two ideas, but I don't have copies of them: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling, to the tune Blaenwern, and Come Down, o Love Divine,to the tune Down Ampney.
Does anyone have existing PD copies of either of these? -
Hymnary.org has a PD copy of Come Down O Love Divine.Thanked by 1Chris Garton-Zavesky

NihilNominis,
That is another direction, one I'm specifically trying to avoid.and before that we have sung, in the past, Come Holy Ghost, in English.

Serviam,
That's an intriguing set of options.Thanked by 1ServiamScores -
Luke and Greg really have some interesting ideas and do a very nice job adapting the texts. I often go off script with different melodies from what they suggest (and sometimes even tweak the text e're so slightly) but on the whole, all the options at antiphon renewal are a treasure trove.
