The penitential season of Lent is celebrated differently in each denomination and congregation, and its music is performed differently by each choir. But the special magic of music of the season is the contemplation of mystery—something that is not only proper to this time of the Liturgical Year, but appropriate for this time of the calendar year as well, as we see the very beginnings of the changing of the seasons.
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, we see the first few sprigs of green budding forth on the leaftless trees, or gently but inexorably piercing the snow… In the darkness of winter that still chills us, they are the promise of the joy of the Spring that is to come.
And for the Christian Church, is not Lent also a season of that very same promise? The promise of new beginnnings, of new life?
Mystical music, to celebrate the mystical season of Lent, awaits you here!
