Darkness to Light - An Easter Celebration

About

Easter, whose universal theme of resurrection and renewed life, is the most significant festival of the Christian Church's year. This selection of music for Holy Week and Easter take us from the keep despair of the Passion (Christus Factus Est, Tristis Est Anima Mea ) through contemplation of the Croxx (Crux Fidelis, Pange Lingua Gloriosa ) to the trumph of the Resurrection (Victimae Paschali Laudes, Regina Caeli ). Though not associated exclusively with Easter Veni Creator Spiritus and Christus Vincit are, respectively, a prayer for the Holy Spirit to come into our lives, and a joyful shout at the triumph of Chris.
