For those who do the sung Passion on Good Friday (OF), can you point me to printed resources and practice tracks for clergy? This is going to be my first year doing it as a DOM. Thank you.
If you have a choir at your disposal and time for two or three rehersals, you might also consider a more elaborate St. John Passion with turba-choruses that have a musical relation to the meaning of the text (in the passions listed so far, the music is detached from the meaning of the text and only represents its grammatical structure).
