If you go to the St. Thomas Church website, you can listen to The Lent Prose sung - by one of the best choirs anywhere - at Choral Evensong on March 8. (The link they list there is not correct at the moment; here's the right one for that service.) Here's the service bulletin so you can follow along; Evensong is below the main Sunday service.
It may be the case that the choir sings The Lent Prose at all Evensongs during Lent - or it may be only on Sunday, I can't quite remember. In any case Evensong is always worth listening to, so nothing's lost if you tune in to find out.

"A Full Homely Lent"
Full Homely Divinity has put out a new Lent section this year, with a calendar for each day in the season, and each day linking to a standalone article. They say:
Good stuff.
For each day of Lent, and also for the Sundays which technically are not "of" Lent but "in" Lent and do not count in the forty days of Lent, we provide an idea for reflection and/or action--hopefully with one leading to the other. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, self-examination and repentance, and reading and meditating on God's Word, provide the general structure of a Lenten rule and we have set aside particular days of the week to ensure that all of these are addressed regularly throughout Lent. Wednesdays will be days of fasting and freedom. On Thursdays, we will look to the examples of the saints. Fridays are the days of darkness, anticipating the darkness of Good Friday. Saturday is the Sabbath, a day for quiet contemplation and prayer. Sundays are never days of fasting, so Lenten foods will be our theme. On Mondays, almsgiving will be our focus. And the Tuesday theme will be reconciliation.
Good stuff.
