The Crucifixion tableau was further accompanied by a selection of music for Holy Week, in this instance Cornysh’s ‘Woefully array’d’ and ‘O vos omnes’ by Carlo Gesualdo. These starkly contrasting works capture the spirit of the Easter Play in their direct, declamatory style and sharply articulated shifts of mood, as Christ himself exhorts the listener to contemplate his suffering and sacrifice.

Le tableau de la Crucifixion s’accompagnait également d’un choix de musiques pour la semaine sainte, en l’occurrence Woefully array’d de Cornysh et O vos omnes de Carlo Gesualdo. Ces œuvres puissamment contrastées restituent l’esprit de l’Easter Play par leur style direct, déclamatoire, ainsi que des climats changeants s’articulant de manière abrupte, le Christ lui-même exhortant l’auditeur à contempler sa souffrance et son sacrifice.

Begleitet wurde das Kreuzigungstableau über dies von einer Musikauswahl für die Karwoche, in diesem Fall Woefully array’d von Cornysh sowie O vos omnes von Carlo Gesualdo. Diese kontraststarken Werke erfassen mit ihrem direkten, deklamatorischen Stil und ihren scharf artikulierten Stimmungswechseln den Geist des Osterspiels—wie auch Christus selbst den Zuhörer ermahnt, über sein Leiden und Opfer nachzusinnen.
