Traditional Latin Mass: The Annunciation
Traditional Latin Mass with music of the Messe ‘Cum jubilo’ (1966) by Maruice Duruflé, for baritone soloist (Alan Dunbar), men’s choir and organ (Samuel Backman). With choral motets by Duruflé and Palestrina, we integrate this famous musical setting of the Mass for Our Lady with the Holy Mass.
Exaltation of the Holy Cross
September 14, is called the ‘Exaltation of the Holy Cross,’ ‘Holy Cross Day,’ or ‘Roodmas.’ It commemorates two separate events related to that date. The first is the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also built by Constantine, in Jerusalem, the site of Christ’s death and Resurrection, as well as the grotto where Saint Helena recovered the Cross. The second event is the return of a significant portion of the Cross to Emperor Heraclius in 629 which had been previously captured by the invading Persians.
