The event was billed as an opportunity to listen to ‘the pure sound of glorious Passiontide anthems sung unaccompanied in a luxurious accoustic. A short, dreamy and contemplative pre-Easter wallow in rich choral music and readings.’

As this was the first time Steve had organised a concert he worked hard on publicity and the church was filled. The songs were mainly Latin church anthems written for Easter between 16th Century and 20th Century, with a couple of spirituals thrown in. Here’s an example of one of the songs – O Crux Ave:
