Today Christians around the world commemorate the events of the Passion of Christ two thousand years ago. Here are two works that reflect on this in different ways.
First, a setting of the Reproaches from the Catholic Good Friday service, with the words adapted by Gail Stubbs and sung to a psalm tone by Thomas Tallis.
Anima Christi/Seven Last Words by Mike Stubbs. Anima Christi is probably best known as the hymn ‘Soul of my Saviour’, set as a backdrop to the words of Jesus on the cross, as recorded in the Gospels.
Both recordings are generated using the Cantamus app for the vocal parts.
