Krzysztof Penderecki - St. Luke Passion (1966)

Mahalia Jackson: "Dark was the NIght and Cold the Ground on Which My Savior Prayed"

because it's Maundy Thursday, and because Mahalia sang this song (in this version of the text it is thoroughly a Maundy Thursday song, whereas the legendary Blind Willie Johnson performance has been a Holy Saturday tradition given the different reception history of that performance)
