Veni, Veni Emmanuel is a synthesis of the great "O Antiphons" that are
used for Vespers during the octave before Christmas (Dec. 17-23). These
antiphons are of ancient origin and date back to at least the ninth
century.

Trinity College Choir - Advent Carol Service
Recently voted the fifth best choir in the world in Gramophone magazine's "20 Greatest Choirs", The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge comprises around thirty Choral Scholars and two Organ Scholars, all of whom are ordinarily undergraduates of the College.
The College’s choral tradition dates back
to the all-male choir of the fourteenth century, when former Chapel
Royal choristers studied in King’s Hall which later became part of
Trinity College. Directors of Music have included Charles Villiers
Stanford, Alan Gray, Raymond Leppard and Richard Marlow. Female voices
were introduced in the 1980s by Richard Marlow, in a new departure for
Cambridge choral music. Stephen Layton has been Director of Music since
2006.
