A meditative concert to start Holy Week. The sacred cantata recalls the scenes which mark the last few days of Christ's life on earth. It begins with Christ's jubilant journey to Jerusalem and ends with the Crucifixion at Calvary. It is interspersed with congregational hymns which reflect on the scenes. The oratorio's combination of biblical texts with Maunder's emotional score helps to highlight the sacred story, encouraging listeners to contemplate the depth of the Easter story and the sacrifice it represents.
