Lent is upon us, a season of spiritual renewal as we prepare for Easter through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. In our worship, the liturgy becomes more reflective: the “Alleluia” falls silent, and confession comes to the forefront in the singing of the Kyrie—“Lord, have mercy.”
Throughout the season, the choir will sing the Kyrie from the Mass for Four Voices by the English Renaissance composer William Byrd.
This Sunday’s anthem, Like as the Hart Desireth the Waterbrooks by Herbert Howells, is a profound piece that captures the essence of longing for God amidst suffering.
