Light On Dark Water

I can’t help feeling that there is something not quite right about looking forward with pleasure to a ceremony commemorating the betrayal and crucifixion of Christ. But I also can’t deny that I expect to enjoy the Tenebrae (“shadows”) service at our cathedral tomorrow night. It will be dignified, reverent, and beautiful, especially the music.

This Tenebrae setting by Gesualdo is not what I will hear tomorrow night; I just like the cover a great deal. If I were to come into possession of a very large amount of money, I think I would buy every single recording in the ECM New Series catalog. And have the jacket photos all over the wall.
