“Lord, Send Out Your Spirit†is based on Veni Creator Spiritus, one of the most familiar Gregorian chants. The chant is sung at Pentecost Vespers, the dedication of a church, and for the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Orders. It is also heard at consistories when the cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope. The psalm verses in this setting are appointed for Pentecost Sunday Mass during the Day, as well as being an option for a common responsorial psalm for Pentecost.

Although a part for flute (or violin) is provided to emphasize the hymn tune, there are other creative instrumental opportunities to explore. Use a cello or bassoon for the bass accompaniment line. The organist is encouraged to experiment with different registrations and colors. The tenors will want to be well warmed-up, and the occasional tenuous bass section will appreciate the support from the keyboard. The Flute and Violin parts are optional. .
