Tenebrae at St. Mary Church, Norwalk

Yesterday evening a very beauiful Office of Tenebrae was sung at St. Mary’s Church, Norwalk, CT. The psalms were chanted in the front by a men’s choir.   The St. Mary’s Schola Cantorum sang the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah and the responsories in polyphony in the choirloft.  The liturgy ended in complete darkness with a polyphonic setting of the Miserere.  The clergy, choirs and congregation departed in silence.
