Featuring Michael Latsko playing a Bach chorale prelude (Alle menschen mussen sterben, BWV 643) taken from Bach's Orgelbuchlein, a collection of 46 chorale preludes, most of which were written 1708-1717 while Bach was organist to the Duke of Weimar. The translation is "Hark! a voice saith, all men are mortal."

Also with Keith Perry singing "Ubi caritas" (Where charity is)--a hymn of the Western Church often sung on Maundy Thursday. The melody is Gregorian chant composed sometime between the fourth and tenth centuries while the text may have been written earlier. The text says that God is present wherever charity – care for others – and love is expressed. It resonates with both Jesus’ Great Commandment (Luke 10:27) and his New Commandment (John 13:34).

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.

Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.

Exsultemus, et in ipso jucundemur.

Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.

Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.

Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur:

Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus.

Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites.

Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus.

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.

Simul quoque cum beatis videamus,

Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus:

Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum,

Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.

Where charity and love are, there God is.

The love of Christ has gathered us into one.

Let us exult, and in Him be joyful.

Let us fear and let us love the living God.

And from a sincere heart let us love each other.

Where charity and love are, there God is.

Therefore, whensoever we are gathered as one:

Lest we in mind be divided, let us beware.

Let cease malicious quarrels, let strife give way.

And in the midst of us be Christ our God.

Where charity and love are, there God is.

Together also with the blessed may we see,

Gloriously, Thy countenance, O Christ our God:

A joy which is immense, and also approved:

Through infinite ages of ages. Amen.
