Et Resurrexit tertia die: J.S. Bach's joyful exuberance

(Vatican Radio) After the subdued tone of our Passiontide hymns, it's now time to burst forth in songs of joy says our music historian Monsignor Philip Whitmore as he presents this musical meditation focusing on the first of the Glorious Mysteries. One which takes us straight to the moment when the powers of darkness were defeated for ever and the day of our redemption dawned.
