The Good Friday music comes from the last act of Parsifal. The scene is one of pastoral calm outside the hut of Gurnemanz, the aged guardian of the Grail. Parsifal has returned, having regained the sacred spear from the wizard, Klingsor. As the sun rises Parsifal gazes in ecstasy on the beauty of the meadows and the flowers; never before has the earth seemed to him so radiant.
