For Palm Sunday: Meditation on the Passion of Christ

4/5/20 | Music | by David Sinden

At this moment, when we cannot gather together, St. Peter's will present recordings of our liturgy and music during Holy Week and Easter Week. 

Palm Sunday: This service, A Meditation on the Passion of Christ, was recorded on Palm Sunday, 2017.

The liturgy is modeled on a service held at St. John’s College, Cambridge, England and is in three parts: 1) Gethsemane, 2) The Trial, and 3) The Crucifixion

Each section of the service includes antiphons, portions of the passion gospel sung by the choir, and poetry. The poems included in this service are written by Scott Cairns, Malcolm Guite, and Wendell Berry.

The music is sung by the St. Peter’s Singers, under the direction of David Sinden. The Assistant Organist is Scott Roberts.
