Gnomon - time to move on

I'm an atheist, but I'm so steeped in Catholic tradition that there's only one piece of music to listen to this Good Friday: the Matthew Passion.

Gnomon - time to move on

So I listened to a recording of some of tge Passion. It is rather long and I had to sleep. But I also attended a Good Friday service. My daughter conducts the choir. They sang O Vos Omnes by Casals and The Reproaches by Sanders, both very powerful pieces.

I've been listening to some Praetorius - not quite Easter music, but spirit-lifting.

My niece is singing a Tavener piece on Easter Day at Lancaster Priory. It's being filmed so I'll watch it on Monday.
