Michael John Trotta interpretted the well-known Latin text, "Veni, Veni Emmanuel" as a dialogue between petitioners and the Creator, a combination of old and new. He masterfully juxtaposes a personal longing for something still to come with the steadfast assurance of the ever-present, yet unseen. While the original theme is associated with the Christmas season, the wider theme of longing for something greater is universal to the human condition and allows this piece to be programmed throughout the year for any concert, contest or festival. This piece is also available for SATB Voices (CM9418) and SSAA Voices (CM9436) and is a part of the MJT Signature Series.
