Triduum II: Good Friday

Red is the colour of the Day. The service is broken into three parts - the Liturgy of the word (with the reading of the passion - we hope that next year this will be sung) the Veneration of the Cross and Holy Communion.

Musically, the service is a feast of unaccompanied singing. This year the reproaches where sung to a haunting setting in Greek by Hungarian composer Lajos Bárdos - a real find. The music of John Shepherd was featured (Salvator mundi, In manus tuus) alongside William Byrd's magnificent 'Infelix ego.'
