Ah, Holy Jesus

Few hymns throughout history have had the impact during the Lenten season as this Johann Cruger hymn composed in 1640. Craig Courtney's expressive palette includes a haunting piano accompaniment, an a cappella verse for a more introspective moment, and a final verse with a soaring descant and a triplets-dominated piano underlay. This is a  work of musical artistry for your Lenten observances.
