Choral Eucharist with blessing of the palms and distribution of Palm Crosses

Former Organist and Master of Choristers, Dr Philip Matthias, composed the Missa Brevis specifically for the combination of choir, organ and acoustic that we enjoy in this Cathedral. The triumphant setting of the Kyrie and Sanctus herald Christ’s triumphant entry, while the haunting beauty of the Agnus Dei turn our thoughts to the events that unfold in Holy Week.
