At their last evensong service of the term and to mark Pentecost Sunday, the Choir of Men and Boys sang Yves Castagnet's dramatic setting of "Veni Sancte Spiritus".
"This piece was composed in 2013, when we celebrated the 850th anniversary of the cathedral. It is dedicated to my great friend Lionel Sow who conducted the cathedral’s choir from 2006 to 2014, an extraordinary musician with whom it was for me such a pleasure to work daily. It is of course inspired by the famous gregorian sequence of the feast of Pentecost, but the gregorian quotes appear only in solo organ interventions, as a distant echo. It is only in the final Amen that the voices sing the theme." - Yves Castagnet
