Wall Street musical treasure

A recent blog posting by New Yorker music critic, Alex Ross, points to a phenomenal web archive of live concerts at Trinity Church on Wall St. in New York City. The well-endowed parish has a long and glorious history of providing for great music by its resident organist and choir, as well as visiting musicians.

A particular seasonal treat is a concert the Trinity Choir and Chamber Orchestra gave last Tuesday. Under the leadership of guest conductor Andrew Megill, we hear three great sacred works from the Baroque era appropriate for Lent: J.S. Bach's Jesu, Meine Freunde, Dietrich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri and Domenico Scarlatti's Stabat Mater.

Sit back and enjoy the music
