Chester Cathedral Choir
enhancing the music and liturgy at Chester Cathedral
Holy Week and Easter 2010
The Cathedral Choir celebrated Palm Sunday in the usual way with Weelkes’ rousing “Hosanna to the Son of David” sung under the Norman arch followed by a plainsong procession through the city centre, past the town hall and into the cathedral through the main west doors.
Services during Holy Week at which the choir sang included:
2nd April – Good Friday Liturgy (Sanders Reproaches, Allegri Miserere)
3rd April – Easter Vigil and confirmation (Dove Missa Brevis)
4th April – Easter Day Eucharist (Haydn Little Organ Mass, Now the Green Blade Riseth)

Chester cathedral has to be one of Chester’s finest assets and Easter is a great time to visit. It is a wonderful building and magnificant architecture right in the centre of our historic City. We look forward to welcoming you.
