Additional Opportunities for Good Friday
First Presbyterian Church in Granville at 7 p.m.
Come hear the wonderful Chancel Choir, accompanied by our 21 rank 1861 Johnson pipe organ, beautifully restored by the Muller company in 2004. Gabriel’ Fauré’s stirring, and luminous requiem is a beautiful reflection of Christ’s suffering and death on the cross. Fauré’s celestial work almost shimmers with vocal color and sound.
United Church of Granville at 7 p.m.
Join as they hold a Taize service,a form of meditative prayer characterized by simple, repetitive chants, quiet reflection and readings.
St. Joseph Cathedral at 8 p.m.
Schola’s annual presentation of music for Tenebrae, featuring motets of Gesualdo and Tallis’ Lamentations of Jeremiah, has become one of the Cathedral’s most popular events. The evening is marked by the gradual extinction of candles, culminating in the performance of Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere in a completely darkened Cathedral.
