Holy Spirit SAS 1/116

This song by Ken Canedo is amongst the gathering and sending forth songs in Spirit and Song Vol 1 and might fill that role for Pentecost, but otherwise is a good selection for Confirmation services. He writes about the song here. We’d probably use one of Michael Mangan’s Holy Spirit songs instead but this song has much to recommend it. The cantor sings the verses while the assembly continues to sing the ostinato refrain, although you could also split the assembly or have a choir sing the verses. Since it might go for a while a bit of TaizĂ© style instrumental soloing wouldn’t go astray.

This clip shows its use at a confirmation service but the tempo is too fast and it seems to trip over itself a bit.

These kids keep it simple and at a reasonable speed.
