Two songs for three days

March 28, 2013

My Songs for the Church Year project is a season-by-season thing, without additional music for Holy Week. This week I did, however, also post this older song of mine about the New Commandment:

&amp;lt;a href="<a href="http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/love-will-drive-fear-away">http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/love-will-drive-fear-away</a>" data-mce-href="<a href="http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/love-will-drive-fear-away">http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/love-will-drive-fear-away</a>"&amp;gt;Love Will Drive Fear Away by Steve Thorngate&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;

No statement intended by the lack of a Good Friday song; the one for Thursday is just an extra I found e-lying around.

Here's my new one for Easter:

&lt;a href="<a href="http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/christ-is-risen-now">http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/christ-is-risen-now</a>" data-mce-href="<a href="http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/christ-is-risen-now">http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/track/christ-is-risen-now</a>"&gt;Christ Is Risen Now by Steve Thorngate&lt;/a&gt;

Have a blessed and holy Triduum. (For more of my liturgical music, visit my Facebook page.)
