Good Friday

The church quartet played for the Tenebrae service tonight. It is my favorite Methodist event of the year. I really like the way they tell the story of the crucifixion and extinguish the candles one at a time until it is dark in the sanctuary- a big boom on the gong symbolizes the final breath of Christ's life. Everyone leaves in silence - they don't even talk in the parking lot! The piece we played was fairly simple and I give myself an A- for this performance.
