Good Friday was originally composed for the chapels of three Oxford colleges: Lincoln, Jesus, and Exeter. The first performances, by members of the three colleges and others, took place in February 1998, with the first two scenes played in Lincoln and the other two in Jesus and Exeter. The scenes were connected by outdoor processional music for voices and transportable instruments. The structure of the work is the direct result of these circumstances, building up from smallish forces in the first of the three chapels to much larger resources in the final scene; the processional music, too, was designed to accommodate as much repetition as necessary.
