Gnomon - time to move on Started conversation Apr 18, 2014
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.

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.

She said it has a Latin name... I need to go and find it. I'll let you know once I do.
