Veni Sancte Spiritus (Zanaida Robles)

Veni Sancte Spiritus Text: 13th Century Pentecost Sequence Music: Zanaida Robles (b. 1979) Gonzaga University Concert Choir Annie Flood, piano Tim Westerhaus, conductor Black History Month Concert, February 27, 2021 Composer, educator, and singer Dr. Zanaida Robles is from Southern California and currently teaches in the Los Angeles area. Known as a “fierce advocate for diversity and inclusion in music education and performance,” she serves on the board of the National Association for Negro Musicians and the board of directors of Tonality, a performing ensemble in LA promoting justice through choral music (www.zanaidarobles.com). She has performed as a concert soprano soloist for films, television, and video game credits, traveling throughout the US, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Many of Dr. Zanaida Robles’ compositions are reflective of her passion for social justice by centering on issues of diversity, including choral music that sets the principles of Kwanzaa, and her work commissioned for Tonality “Can You See?” This piece includes texts from protests signs such as “Love is Love” and “Black Lives Matter” with an aim to “rehumanize those who have been dehumanized,” as she shared in her own words during a virtual residency at Gonzaga. Throughout Dr. Robles’s residency, singers also learned that the melody of “Veni Sancte Spiritus” originally came to her mind while waiting in traffic one evening, and this melody eventually became a love song dedicated to her husband. First performed by her high school choir at Harvard Westlake, the piece was later adapted to be sung by her Unitarian Universalist church. Robles was mentored by Morten Lauridsen in this pop-infused take on the sacred text. Charged with a rhythmic pulse and alternating Latin verses with English refrains, “Veni Sancte Spiritus” invites listeners to welcome a spirit of renewal in a contemporary setting. Veni, Sancte Spiritus, et emitte caelitus lucis tuae radium. Veni, pater pauperum, veni, dator munerum veni, lumen cordium. Consolator optime, dulcis hospes animae, dulce refrigerium. In labore requies, in aestu temperies in fletu solatium. Come, Holy Spirit. Send from heaven thy rays of light. O lux beatissima, reple cordis intima tuorum fidelium. Sine tuo numine, nihil est in homine, nihil est innoxium. Come, Holy Spirit, Emit forth the heavenly Radiance of your light. Come, father of the poor, Come, giver of the gifts, Come, light of the heart. Greatest comforter, Sweet guest of the soul, Sweet consolation. In labor, rest, In heat, temperance, In tears, solace. O most blessed light, Fill the inmost heart, Of your faithful. Without your spirit, There is nothing in humankind, Nothing that is not harmful.
