re quality of catholic liturgy tim rolfe writes without active participation if you know the latin one really beautiful way to hear the passion is it s being chanted by three deacons the narrator chants in the middle baritone range jesus chants in the bass and others directly quoted are handled by a high tenor i heard the gregorian chant of the passion on good friday in this liturgy our lord is definitely very sad it s as if he has resigned himself to die for these poor pitiful creatures who are killing him the chant is quite beautiful
