Seven Last Words: Music and Poetry for Good Friday
In 1785 Josef Haydn wrote a chamber work based on what the Bible says were the seven last words spoken by Christ on the cross. That music has been used in Good Friday religious services ever since. In 2005, a Minnesota church asked poet Michael Dennis Browne to prepare poetry readings to accompany Haydn's music. Instead, he wrote his own poems.
