What makes this recording of Simon Mold’s 2010 “Lenten cantata for soloists, choir and organ” unique isn’t the music or the performances (both fine). It’s the seamless textual garment that Mold has woven from Scripture (three psalms, Micah 6, 1 Peter 2), Coles’ Christologia, Aquinas, and a half-dozen hymnists spanning several centuries. Then there’s “The Dream of the Rood,” wherein the cross speaks for itself.
