"Veni Creator Spiritus (Come, Creator Spirit)" is a hymn in the Roman Catholic rite, historically sung at Vespers and Terce of Whitsuntide (Pentecost). The authorship of the text is unknown, but it has been variously ascribed to emperor Charles the Great (Charlemange), St. Ambrose, Gregory the Great, and Rabanus Maurus. The melody is thought to be older than the text, and is associated with the Ambrosian hymn "Hic est dies versus Dei." Many composers have used this melody as a basis of compositions. It can be found in 15th century plays, a great number of vocal works (particularly masses and motets) and numerous keyboard works. Dunstable, Festa, Palestrina, De Grigny, J.S. Bach and Durufle are just a few of the many composers throughout the centuries who have used this melody. "Variations on Veni Creator Spiritus" consists of an initial presentation of the chant, followed by a series of four variations.
