Poetry on the theme of the life of Christ, from the Annunciation to Glory, written and performed by Edmund Matyaszek, interspersed with songs performed by Soprano Annalisa Vaughan and Music Director of the Minster Steve Parker on Piano and Organ. Matyjaszek's poetry and delivery are very powerful, giving a vivid representation of events and emotions as if through the eyes of someone present at the scene. Combined with the beautiful sound of solo voice and organ, the event is a deeply emotive journey through the mysteries and the Gospels. Songs include Caccini's Ave Maria, Pie Jesu by Faure', Mozart's Ave Verum and Laudate Dominum. A powerful meditation for Easter Saturday, both for the religious and for those who are just passionate about modern literature and classical music. Please note: Poems depicting the passion and crucifixion may not be suitable for children.
