Stainer The Crucifixion
Tenor: Jason Darnell Bass: Sam Hucklebridge Organ: David Pipe
John Stainer's powerful setting of the Passion which, while dramatic, is never over-indulgent in its use of Victorian solo and chorus writings. Like the Bach Passions on which it was based, it includes congregational hymns. We follow this with the service of Compline.
