The <i>Stations of the Cross</i> concert offers a deeply reflective journey through Christ’s Passion this Lent. The programme highlights three pillars of sacred choral music: haunting chants (<i>Parce Domine</i>, <i>Popule Meus</i>, <i>Jesus, Remember Me</i>, Lenten Prose), the majestic English cathedral tradition (Gibbons’ <i>Drop, Drop, Slow Tears</i>, Stainer’s <i>God So Loved the World</i>, Goss’ <i>Saviour of the World</i>), and timeless hymns, including <i>There Is a Green Hill Far Away</i>, in which the congregation is invited to join. Spanning Renaissance anthems, Baroque treasures like Bach’s <i>O Sacred Head, Surrounded</i>, and the emotional immediacy of spirituals such as <i>Were You There</i>, the concert blends accompanied and unaccompanied works with readings and visual elements to create a contemplative, immersive experience.
