Though the words of Come down, O love divine are fine and poetic I suspect it is the quality of the tune which prompts its use - it says - or sings - Pentecost.
A disadvantage of our rehearsal time (before and after Mass) is that I tend to assign cantor roles in the Penitential Act etc. to myself as it saves time - but as all the singers are capable and had manage without me in the preceding weeks others were cantors throughout this morning - I ought to remember this more often.
Chant was a running thread this morning. Veni Creator is quoted in the psalm accompaniment. (The Vigil verses also include Veni Sancte Spiritus as a counter melody to one verse. The sequence setting is an arrangement of chant in triple time. Finally the Penitential Act and Lamb of God are both based on the chant Mass Lux et Origo which is indicated for the Easter season.
