As a special choral meditation for Passiontide, the Cathedral Choir sings The Crucifixion by Sir John Stainer. A cherished staple of the English choral tradition, Stainer’s The Crucifixion offers a moving musical meditation on the Passion of Christ. First performed in 1887, this beloved work combines expressive solos, dramatic choral writing, and familiar congregational hymns to tell the story of Christ’s suffering, sacrifice, and redeeming love. Featuring the enduring hymn God So Loved the World and the powerful processional The March to Calvary, this devotional masterpiece invites listeners to reflect deeply on the events of Holy Week through music of profound beauty and heartfelt faith.
