Here's another piece for what I've decided to call a Holy Week Pilgrimage: Herr, Unser Herrscher, the opening chorus from JS Bach's St John Passion, sung here by Trinity College of Music. For me personally it's at times like this that music goes far deeper than words ever could; even more so if I've taken part in the work myself in the past. I've particular memories of the dance that was set to the opening section ; it added yet another nuance to the experience, truly lifting it from mere performance to prayer.
