A few days ago, a request appeared on Choralist. It is copied below.
Hello, I was hoping to get some suggestions for anthems during the Lenten season and maybe even a big piece for Easter. Specifically, I would like to know if suggestions could be from the Choral Public Domain Library (CPDL). I am trying to save my church a bit of money and while I like the resource, there is a lot there for me to sift through. ....
Can people suggest Lenten works that can be downloaded from this website? Here is a short list of the top of my head:
Lenten works

- I added half a dozen Lenten works in Latin as well as a couple of Easter works in English, including one of my own (with optional brass, used last year as the processional hymn on Easter morn). ChuckGiffen 07:48, 24 February 2006 (PST)
