Program Notes

The Ambrosian chant for the fifth responsory for matins of the Good Friday service forms the basis for the solo organ work.

“There was darkness over the earth… and about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.”
