Tenebrae with the Trinity Chamber Singers
Wednesday, April 5, 2023, 6:00 PM
The name Tenebrae (the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows”) has for centuries been applied to the ancient monastic night and early morning services (Matins and Lauds) of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. By drawing upon material from each of the former three offices of Tenebrae, this one-hour service provides an extended meditation upon, and a prelude to, the events in Jesus’ life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection. Music will be the timelessly beautiful Tenebrae Responsories by Victoria.
