The third of his four oratorios The Crucifixion (1887) was dedicated by Sir John Stainer (1840 – 1901), then Organist and Choir Master of St. Paul’s Cathedral , to his “pupil and friend W. Hodge and the choir” of St Marylebone Parish Church, who first performed it on Thursday 24th February 1887, the day after Ash Wednesday.
This recording is sung by the Choir of St Marylebone Parish Church where it was first performed and where it has been performed every year since.
Sir John Stainer’s most widely known work takes us on an emotional and spiritual journey and that journey is, of course, Christ’s journey; a journey towards the cross that awaits him on the hill of Calvary, Golgotha, the place of a skull, just outside the walls of Jerusalem. Christ's final journey was the very journey for which the Word of God became incarnate; the journey to which the whole of Jesus’ earthly ministry had, inexorably, been leading; a journey which fulfilled Christ’s destiny, revealed his glory, and completed God the Father’s plan for creation’s salvation.
This is the first performance recorded in the place for which it was written since the 1999 recording made by the English Chamber Choir. 2017 marks the oratorio’s 130th Anniversary as well as the 200th anniversary of the present parish church and the 900th anniversary of Christian worship in the parish that was, in the fifteenth century, to become St Marylebone.
Recorded Live at St Marylebone Parish Church on Good Friday 2016
Price: £10.00 or £12.50 (includes postage and packing)
