Music for Holy Week
The pinnacle of the liturgical year has provided inspiration for a staggering amount of great music across Church history. As always, the choirs of St. Mary’s will draw freely on these musical riches, including some beautiful works probably not heard in their intended liturgical context for centuries. Some highlights of Holy Week will include Antonio Lotti’s Miserere mei, Deus; Giovanni Rovetta’s Missa brevis for Maundy Thursday; music of Victoria, Francés de Iribarren, and Lopez Morago for the Good Friday liturgy; and baroque music from the New World for the Cristo Muerto ceremony. The week will culminate with Franz Joseph Haydn’s joyful Nicolaimesse at the Easter Vigil and on Easter morning. Preview the entire week’s music here.
