Make plans to begin Holy Week with a Sacred Music Concert at Our Lady of the Atonement Catholic Church! The concert promises to be a memorable evening. Mark your calendars and share this post with any friends and family who may be interested in beginning Holy Week in a prayerful, meditative way!

DETAILS HERE: Monday, April 3, at 6:30pm The Choir of Our Lady of the Atonement will be offering a concert of Holy Week Meditations. There will be musical selections featured highlighting different days of Holy Week and Christ’s journey from Palm Sunday to Good Friday. The concert will feature works by Samuel Barber, Edward Bairstow, J.S. Bach, and Kenneth Leighton.

Featured at the end of the concert will be Leighton’s Solus ad victimam, which follows Christ on Good Friday and demonstrates the stark contrast between the darkness, suffering, and pain of the Passion, and the eternal jubilation that comes at His rising. The poem is by 12th-century French philosopher, Peter Abelard, translated from its original Latin here.

“Alone to sacrifice thou goest, Lord, giving thyself to Death whom thou hast slain. For us thy wretched folk is any word? Who know that for our sins this is thy pain? For they are ours, O Lord, our deeds, our deeds. Why must thou suffer torture for our sin? Let our hearts suffer in thy Passion, Lord, that very suffering may thy mercy win. This is the night of tears, the three days' space, sorrow abiding of the eventide, Until the day break with the risen Christ, and hearts that sorrowed shall be satisfied. So may our hearts share in thine anguish, Lord, that they may sharers of thy glory be; Heavy with weeping may the three days pass, to win the laughter of thine Easter Day.”

What an uplifting and beautiful weekend of music-making with our Ordinariate brothers and sisters! Upper School students from The Atonement Catholic Academy partnered with choristers from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham and Cathedral High School to perform Haydn’s Missa Brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo.

Cathedral directors Edmund and Chalon Murray (beloved former directors at the Atonement) helmed the choir and organ, and led a wonderful experience for the singers.

Thank you to the American Federation of Pueri Cantores for putting on a wonderful Mini-Masterworks Festival.

Our students represented well this weekend at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham, performing alongside our colleagues in the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. What an honor to join in the glory of God’s praise together in such a beautiful space.
