APRIL FOCUS
TWO CHORAL SELECTIONS FOR EASTER! Click on the links below to hear each piece.
Jesus, pro me perforatus sets Gladstone's Latin translation of 'Rock of Ages' to a lyrical melody, ideal for amateur choirs. More demanding, The Breaking of Bread reflects the Easter story of the road to Emmaus. Both works are on the CD In no strange land sung by Sonoro directed by Neil Ferris with Michael Higgins, organ, available from Resonus Classics
Scores available from Composers Edition
