 | | Stainer, who was then in charge of the music at St Paul’s Cathedral, wrote it for the choir of another London church, Marylebone Parish Church. |
 | | Indeed, he recorded the work many years ago when he was organist at Guildford Cathedral and that recording, using the cathedral choir, has recently reappeared on the Classics for Pleasure label, though I’m afraid it is yoked in a double CD release with Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary. |
 | | Barry Rose’s orchestral version of Crucifixion was commissioned by the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra and its first performance took place in Guildford Cathedral on 31 March 2001, the centenary of Stainer’s death. |
