This inventive song for Pentecost by Hilary Raimondo has the cantor singing an overlapping line of verses over the assembly’s refrain.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow, where there a snippet of the song to listen to to get the idea. This is one I’d love to hear in a liturgical context.
My backing has the two lines at opposite ends of the stereo spectrum.
All:
Come, Holy Spirit, come, in our hearts;
Kindle in us the fire of your love’
Cantor:
O come, Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit come, and
1 fold us in your love.
2 fill us with your joy.
3 guard us with your peace.
4 grant us patient words.
5 make us kind and good.
6 give us faithful hearts.
7 teach us humble ways.
8 help us to be strong.
