A Service for Tenebrae presented on Maundy Thursday by First Christian Church Chancel Choir
This season's Maundy Thursday cantata, "Candles of Grace," is a chamber cantata that stands out as a poignant musical representation of the Passion, the period detailing the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. Termed a "service of shadows," this piece is deeply intertwined with emotive texts that vividly portray the events of the Passion. The music is richly expressive and designed to evoke the profound emotions associated with these events. One of the key features of "Candles of Grace" will include a live string quartet. This element adds a layer of refined beauty and grace, enhancing the overall impact of the cantata.
From its delicate opening phrases to the gentle, whispered ending, "Candles of Grace" is crafted to leave a lasting impression. It invites listeners to deeply engage with the narrative of the Lord's suffering, making it an essential piece for those looking to remember and experience the spiritual depth of the Passion.
