[Dawn Marie]

Good Friday:

Ecce lignum Crucis (English: Behold the Wood of the Cross) is sung during the Showing of the Holy Cross.

Popule Meus (English: The Reproaches)  (is traditionally sung on Good Friday during the Adoration of the Cross.

This is a beautiful English arrangement of the setting of the Reproaches by Tomas Luis de Victoria.

Crux Fidelis (English: Faithful Cross) is traditionally sung at the end of the Adoration of the Cross.

Stabat Mater arranged by Pergolesi is a beautiful accompaniment to meditating on the Stations of the Cross.
