Whitsunday is an older term for Pentecost, de- rived from the white robes worn by baptismal candidates. Baptisms, often held outside in rivers, were frequently postponed from the Easter Vigil to Pentecost due to the chilling weather of cold northern European climates. Today’s Sequence, called the “Golden Se- quence,” is traditionally sung at Pentecost; it begins: Veni, Sancte Spiritus/Et emitte coelitus/Lucis tuae radium (Come Holy Spirit, send forth the heavenly radiance of your light). Follow along in along in your hymnals; the English translation is given there as well. For Pentecost, we will sing a choral Kyrie and Agnus Dei by Rodrigo de Ceballos (c. 1525-1572) from the colonial music archive in Guatemala City. He was born in Aracena (Huelva), and was ordained a priest in Seville in 1556. He was named maestro di capel- la in Malaga in 1554, in the cathedral of Córdoba in 1556, and in the Royal Chapel of Granada in 1561. He is a composer of the An- dalusian school, alongside better-known composers such as Francisco Guerrero (who, with Pedro Fernández de Castilleja, gave him his holy orders) and Cristobal de Morales. His works are preserved in various Spanish and Latin American cathedrals. Gregor Aichinger (1564-1628) was a Catholic priest and organist to the powerful merchant-banker Fugger family in Augsberg. His Factus Est Repente is one of the most popular motets of all time for both Pentecost and Confirmations. Published in 1606, the traditional elements of plainchant and fugue are made to be fully expressive of the spirit and meaning of the text. The opening gives the impression of suddenness, the descent in pitch indicating the descent of wind from heaven. Later, he employs a double canon, one a psalm tone in augmentation, another a descant. There are percussive repeated notes and homophonic sections reminiscent of the Venetians, and no surprise there, since he also was one of the first German composers to use a basso continuo.
