A Lenten Musical Journey, Day 38

No, I’m not done with Bach this Lent. Not yet. Not by a long shot. Here’s the “Crucifixus” from his masterful, transcendent Mass in B minor.

Crucifixus etiam pro nobis
sub Pontio Pilato,
passus, et sepultus est.

And was crucified also for us
under Pontius Pilate:
suffered, and was buried.
