Sometimes called the "Golden Sequence," Veni, Sancte Spiritus is generally attributed to either the thirteenth-century Pope Innocent III or to the Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton. One of only four medieval Sequences published in the 1570 Missale Romanum, this haunting chant is sung for Pentecost and its octave.
lyrics
Veni, Sancte Spiritus,
et emitte caelitus
lucis tuae radium.
Veni, pater pauperum,
veni, dator munerum,
veni, lumen cordium.

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
