DESCRIPTION:Join us for this free performance of Philip Moore's organ medi
 tation Via Crucis\, paired with a Holy Week sermon by The Revd Dr Zachary 
 Guiliano.\n\nThe Via Crucis\, or the Way of the Cross\, is a devotional pr
 actice based on the Via Dolorosa\, the processional route in Jerusalem whi
 ch symbolises the path Jesus walked with the cross on his journey to Calva
 ry. The excercise is the basis of Eric Milner-White's A Procession of Pass
 ion Prayers (1950)\, which in turn inspired Philip Moore's set of 15 music
 al reflections. \n\n"There is a long history of both spiritual and musical
  responses to the Via Dolorosa which begin with Franciscan re-imaginings a
 cross Europe and continue to the present day. Some notable examples includ
 e Marcel Durpé’s Le chemin de la croix\, David Bowie’s Station to Sta
 tion\, Pope John Paul II’s Scriptural Way of the Cross (1991)\, and Eric
  Milner-White’s A Procession of Passion Prayers (1950). Philip Moore’s
  own setting sits as an important part of this long tradition of respondin
 g to the Via Dolorosa\, and\, in using some of the prayers from Milner-Whi
 te’s 1950 publication\, creates a work which speaks to the future throug
 h the language of the past.” – Richard Moore\, Sub Organist\n\nThis mu
 sic is offered as a Cathedral service\, and therefore admission is free an
 d no booking is required.
