Monday In Holy Week
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other that the way of life and peace; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

On this Monday in Holy Week, Concerts at Saint Thomas presents an archival audio recording from the recent past. Originally performed on April 11, 2019, The Choir of Men and Boys is joined by New York Baroque Incorporated and guest soloists under the direction of former Organist and Director of Music Daniel Hyde.
With such emotional weight, and in a perfect balance of drama and spirituality, Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion has become synonymous with Passiontide and Easter observances around the world.
The choir presented this concert as a liturgical reconstruction that incorporates some of what we know of the Good Friday liturgies from the 1720s. About this meditation, Mr. Hyde wrote, “Each half of [the] performance (liturgy) begins with an organ intonation for an audience (congregational) chorale; the sermon should be given in-between the two parts of Bach’s Passion and this evening you can find much in the program to meditate upon during the interval; after Part Two of Bach’s music, the re-enactment closes with a short collect and blessing before the final chorale ‘Nun danket alle Gott’.
