Music for Holy Week

Here are links to many of the works and hymns we often hear during Holy Week

Prelude: Dupré, Ave Maris Stella
Hymn: All Glory, Laud and Honor: All glory, laud and honor to thee, Redeemer King. From whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring.

Prelude: Adoro Te, Devote (chant in Latin): Thee we adore, hidden savior thee…O memorial of our Lord’s death, Living bread that gives life to us, grant my soul to live on thee and to savor your sweetness ever.
Hymn: I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say: I heard the voice of Jesus say “Come unto me and rest; lay down, O hearty one, lay down your head upon my breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn and sad; I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad.
