Lenten Listening

I wanted to share these stunning choral compositions. They are Tenebrae Motets Op 72, by the English composer Edmund Rubbra. They are very accessible, with just enough modern musical language to make them stand out from the typical Baroque and Classical fare we think of during Lent and Easter. I find them incredibly beautiful.

Rubbra converted to Catholicism in 1948, and you can hear his sense of the faith.
