NEW POST FOR THE EASTER SEASON 2025

The Easter Church Season is a very special time for the catholic church. One of the very special musical pieces that
is performed is called the "Seven Last Words Of Christ. What makes it even more special is a performance that is sung in the
latin language. The link below is performance Directed by Bob Gaudette and accompanied by Flo Sheehy. The singers consist of
members of the Mary Queen of Peace Church Choir in Salem, NH and some members of the F.A.M.C. It was recorded in 1973 and it
was transferred form an old reel to reel tape recorder, to a cassette and then to a cd. It is not a professional recording it
still allows your to enjoy the tremendous beauty and passion of this piece. I hope you en joy it.
