Written while Stainer was organist of St. Paul's Cathedral London in 1887, The Crucifixion remains a favorite of church choirs everywhere. Intended as a devotional work to be performed on Good Friday, it was probably modeled on the Passion music of JS Bach, but is more readily accessible. Stainer's The Crucifixion has provided some of our most moving hymns such as 'Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow,' 'All for Jesus,' and the sublime 'For God So Loved the World.' Twenty selections, performed by St. Michael's Chamber Choir, recorded in Coventry Cathedral, England.
