[BBMmk2]

Can FF or a host correct the title please, if possible?

You're a bit too early for me, BBM. Still perishingly cold and a fortnight before Mothering Sunday !

And anyway, there is plenty of wonderful Lent music to get through first.

All those Lamentations!

[BBMmk2]

True! Liszt comes to mind!

[BBMmk2]

Thjere's those lovely settings of the Stabat Mater and Allegri!

[Nick Armstrong]

True! Liszt comes to mind!

Really??

Apart from the two Bach Passions, there is one set of pieces that does for me: one of the best 'albums' ever made by King's College Choir:

Lots of wonderful Tallis, Lotti's astonishing Crucifixus, and a few cheerful Easter numbers at the end. Can't go wrong.

True! Liszt comes to mind!

One of the most impressive of Liszt's works: Via Crucis or his Oratorio Christus (especially the Stabat Mater)

Works I quite often listen to during Lent and the holy week, including Good Friday, and Easter:

-Beethoven: Christus am Oelberge opus 85
-JSBach: St.Matthew and St.John passions, Cantatas BWV 4, 31, 66, 6, 134, 145, 158, Easter oratorio BWV 249
-Wagner: Good Friday Music from Parsifal
Tenebrae -settings, by i.a. Gesualdo, Rubbra, Maxwell Davies, Nordheim
Lamentationes by i.a. di Lasso, Tallis, Rebelo, Artyomov
-Handel: Brockes Passion
-Haydn: 7 worte, Symphonies 26, 44 and 49
-Gubaidulina: 7 Worte
-Rimsky Korssakov: Russian Easter overture
-Ostricil: Calvary-variations op.24
-Martin: Pilate, golgotha, Maria Tryptichon
-Ibert: Golgotha
Stabat mater settings by Guilmant, Szymanowski, Schubert, Hendrik Andriessen (Miroirs de Peine), Liszt, Rossini, Kuula, Pergolesi, Dvorak, Palestrina, Kasparov
-Foerster: symphony 6

[Nick Armstrong]

enough choice I guess.....

More than enough, one might almost say.....

[BBMmk2]

Plus the cds by The /Cardinall's Musick of Byrd's Music for Holy Week and The Sixteen Choir musioc for easter too. Especially their performance of Allegri's Misrerere Mei, with those stratospheric top Cs, which seem to be so effortlessly sung.

[MrGongGong]

Surely this year it has to be

Rejoice in the Lamb?



(with or without mint sauce as you wish)

One of the most impressive of Liszt's works: Via Crucis...

An interesting work - simple and unshowy.

We did it in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral last year and are repeating it on March 23rd this year.

...Stabat mater settings by Guilmant, Szymanowski, Schubert, Hendrik Andriessen (Miroirs de Peine), Liszt, Rossini, Kuula, Pergolesi, Dvorak, Palestrina, Kasparov...

NO! |You've missed out the best Stabat Mater of all - the one by John Browne, from the Eton Choirbook.

[BBMmk2]

Ah I love that setting, Jean. Thank you for mentioning it!
