Description

Prelude at 0:00 ; service begins at 21:08

One of the most moving choral services of the year, this meditation employs lessons & carols, spirituals, anthems, motets, and congregational hymns to illuminate the Passion of Christ, which is retold using biblical narratives from Mark, Matthew, and John, sung to some of the most ancient plainchant known to the Church.

The officiant is the Rev. Salmoon Bashir. Choral repertoire includes:

  • “Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended” Herzliebster Jesu
  • John Jacob Niles (1892-1980), arr. Andrew Carter (b. 1939), I wonder as I wander
  • David Hurd (b. 1950), “A stable lamp is lighted” Andújar
  • Kim André Arnesen (b. 1980), Even when He is silent
  • “To mock your reign, O dearest Lord” Tallis’ Third Tune
  • Trond Kverno (b. 1945), Corpus Christi Carol
  • Daniel Gawthrop (b. 1949), Mary speaks
  • Kenneth Miller, “Alas! and did my Savior bleed” Morgan’s Steep
  • Spiritual, Were you there when they crucified my Lord
  • Antonio Lotti (1667-1740), Crucifixus à 8
