PLAYLIST MONDAY 2nd APRIL

Hi. This week much of the music I chose was written for Holy Week which is celebrated this week. I also had a closer look at some of the settings of the Stabat Mater, an ancient prayer of the Roman Catholic church about Mary's suffering at the crucifixion of Jesus.
Next week I shall have a spring flavour to the show, so if you have any requests along those lines please get in touch.
