Zero8 | Veni Emmanuel - Open to the World - Vilnius 2023

"Veni Emmanuel" is a traditional Latin hymn and chant associated with Advent, expressing a yearning for the arrival of the Messiah. The text originates from the "O Antiphons," a series of medieval liturgical texts, and is often sung to a hauntingly beautiful 15th-century plainchant melody. Its lyrics, based on Isaiah's prophecy, invoke titles of Christ such as "Emmanuel," "Wisdom," and "Root of Jesse."

My choir want to purchase this arrangement. Please let me know who arranged it? Thank you so much

The main arrangement (which starts at 1:23) is by Jan-Åke Hillerud. The intro is our own adaptation in Zero8, it's basically just a root/fifth drone with the melody being sung at various tempi ad lib. over the top by the tenors.
