St. Lawrence String Quartet: Good Friday Liturgical Performance

In this seven-section work, Haydn is at his most reflective. Evoking the last hours of Christ’s life, the work’s individual sections carry tempo markings of Largo, Adagio, Lento, Grave. In this performance by the St. Lawrence String Quartet, and as it was written, Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross will be punctuated with readings from the Good Friday service by the Rev. Dr. Tiffany Steinwert, Dean for Religious & Spiritual Life.
