Good Friday HELP!
  • Hey all,

    I'm wondering if anyone out there could help someone like me. I'm looking for appropriate music for Good Friday that fits
    1.) 'We Adore Your Cross, O Lord'
    2.) The Reproaches
    3.) 'Faithful Cross'

    I love Latin and long to see it used, but I'm not sure this is the year for that. (We have done nothing else in Latin since I started here in August and I don't want to pull out Latin only in penitential seasons - that's the only reason why we're not doing a Latin Ordinary (the Jubliate Deo or 'Funeral' Mass) as has been the custom here.

    We will be having an all men's schola sing - a sort of hodge-podge group of guys coming to my parish since their Good Friday services start later than mine.

    Thanks!

    The Burgess Anglican Good Friday booklet has settings of all the above.
  • I'm using Esguerra's Reproaches: http://www.cantemusdomino.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GS-PT-AN-Good-Friday-Reproaches-IV.pdf

    I like the simplicity of it, and the fact that I can invite the congregation to sing the antiphon.
