Today is Maundy Thursday, the day Christians commemorate the Last Supper.
This piece seems particularly appropriate for today. Although the lyrics deal with the mystery of the common birth of Jesus, I find the mystery continues to the last moments of his life - the moments of that last meal.
Lauritsen rocks. I love that work. Another nice piece for Maundy Thursday is Durfle's Ubi Caritas. Makes me cry every time I hear it or sing it.
