Stainer’s Crucifixion

The Crucifixion: A Meditation on the Sacred Passion of the Holy Redeemer, is among the most popular of all English choral works and vividly portrays the events of the Passion of Christ. The work is scored for tenor and bass soloists, organ, mixed choir, and congregational hymns. The piece combines recitatives, solos, and masterful choruses that range from the graphic mob shouts of Crucify Him to the ethereally beautiful meditation at the work's centerpiece God so loved the world.
