The music ministry of Holy Trinity presents Theodore Dubois’s composition The Seven Last Words of Christ – a sacred cantata for solo voices, chorus, organ and orchestra – on Sunday, March 22, 2026 at 3pm. Composed in 1867, Dubois used traditional text from the Roman Catholic Holy Week liturgies to add meditations on the scripture account of the seven last words of Christ on the cross. The work is a preparation to enter into the observance of Holy Week, ending with the chorale Adoramus Te, Christe — “Christ we adore you, and praise you forever, for on the holy cross you have redeemed the world” — a foreshadowing of the hope of the coming resurrection.
Admission is free, although sponsorships are welcomed and a free will offering will be collected at the concert. All donations will be used to benefit the Holy Trinity music ministry and the ongoing costs of our concert series.
