Within the liturgical year, the season of Lent focuses primarily on themes of departure, recollection and penitence. Holy Week, leading up to the Crucifixion on Good Friday, has inspired some of sacred music’s most inspired compositions.
This ANZAC Day meditation in music at the National War Memorial Hall of Memories presents a selection of the most moving Lenten music, written by the finest composers of the Renaissance period, plus four penitential anthems by 20th century composers.
