Details

‘The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross’ comprises seven sonatas between an introductory movement and the closing ‘Earthquake’ section. Each sonata was originally intended to accompany otherwise silent periods of reflection following each of the seven sermons in the church’s Good Friday liturgy. In turn, each of the sermons would have focused on one of the seven ‘last words’ that the Bible reports were uttered by Christ during the very last moments of his earthly life.
Joined by poet, Jennifer Rawson, who using her own words will intertwine the colourful, vibrant playing of the Edinburgh Quartet, this celebration of Springtime will be the perfect accompaniment to your Easter Weekend.
